So we listed our favorites to pursue. So how about a specie you have not caught and would want to. Sort of a "bucket List" for fish. Mine would be tarpon as #1, and probably peacock bass as #2. So what is your fish bucket list?
I’d like to catch a nice wahoo.
THE PEACOCK WAS ON MY LIST. WAS--BECAUSE I WENT TO THE AMAZON AND CAUGHT MANY TWO OF WHICH ARE ON MY WALL{ REPLICAS THEY WILL N OT LET YOU TAKE THEM FROM THE WATERS THEY ARE CAUGHT IN} TAKE PICTURES, MEASURE AND WEIGH THEM AND TAKE THAT TO SOME ONE THAT WILL DO IT FOR YOU..
IF YOU CAN GO.
I'd agree with Tarpon as #2, and a Billfish as #1. I'm not picky, could be Sailfish, White Marlin, Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, or even Swordfish.
I'd be happy with a 40" musky. If we're gonna go crazy I'd say a Goliath Grouper.
A halibut has been on my list.
CaptJIM; I have to agree, Tarpon and Peacock Bass. They were the top fish on my bucket list and I've completed that list. Also, Striped Marlin are good jumpers. If you aren't thrilled by the jumps of a Tarpon, you can't be thrilled in my opinion. When a 60 to 100 lb fish jumps higher than your head when you are standing up in the boat, that will get your heart pumping. Just Sayin...RJS
Bucket list Alaska for halibut and Hawaii for salt water anything I've been to the other 48 states

Guess I'm satisfied catching Smallmouth Bass, caught lots of other spices but nothing like tricking a big old brown fish.
I've caught large mouth,small mouth, spotted Flint river shoal, swanee river shoal, cossa river shoal, chipolla shoal bass sturgeon, and numerous other fish from Florida to Maine to Washington state to California and back still two states to go plus a sword fish.spent ten hours in the gulf stream one spring night no Joy
One more dream trip is the dry tortgues about 150 miles off of Florida

Tarpon #1. was fortunate to catch all the others on your list Fred (except swordfish)
Fished for a lot of different species in a lot of different places but I think small mouth are just about the most fun you can have. Pound for pound they are one of the most fighting fish you can catch
