If you had to fish for only one species of fish what would it be?

Salmon, They provide life in so many ways. They are the back bone of the land.When they reproduce their bodies are for the smolts and for the river itself. Tree's get the nutrients they need as well as all other plant life.Salmon in my opinion are the most inportant fish in the ocean. Ricky Sitka

My favorite species has to be jumbo yellow perch. The world record is only about three pounds so I don’t need big gear. Lol

I will 2nd that on the Pike and Muskie but the Walleye and perch are neck and neck for eating, with the Northern Pike not far behind.

Love fishing for LM bass, but I think I would give it up to catch Peacock Bass.

As far as fishin goes, I love to catch any fish, so whatever is on the bite is what I would like to fish for.
HOWEVER, the question was, what fish would you fish for if you could only fish for 1 type of fish.
That bein said, I would have to go with Stripers, hands down. The opportunity is there to catch a huge fish and even the LITTLE ones fight harder than most any other fish. Even SM. And I love to catch SM. Plus, Stripers are GREAT table fare.

I agree with Ricky,and if I had to pick just one species of salmon it would be Coho first followed by Sockeye

I think I would choose a freshwater species such as bass, or maybe panfish crappie or perch. For the reason that they are present and in season constantly. I love striped bass but there are closed seasons and migration patterns that prevent you from catching them. Fluke ( summer flounder ) fishing is great fun and good to eat as well but again the season is short and they are migratory. It’s tough to focus on only one species.

TROUT, both ends of the size spectrum small and Steelhead and some talk about the link to Salmon.
👍 I agree Kerry. Steelhead are spectacular fighters and jumpers. The difficulty in finding them, hooking them and landing them is my #1 passion. Next for me would be Salmon of all species. Kokanee are one of my favorites for eating.

Hardly any mention of Steelhead and Salmon. They are my favorites here in No. Calif. and So. Oregon!
