Everything! We sometimes fish with live shad, cut bait and nightcrawlers in a channel off of the Mississippi and we catch a little bit of everything that swims...Usually hoping for big cats, but enjoy catching white bass, bowfin, largemouth, smallmouth, spots, carp, gar, drum, etc...

Normally I HATE catching drum, but I nailed a 23 inch one this spring at the Falls of the Ohio while fishing for sauger on ultra-lite gear and man was it ever a blast! Took me a good 15-20 minutes to play that slimy beast in :)

Pickerel. I was getting skunked one day this summer while my brother and a couple buddies were reeling in the LM's but the pickerel were going nuts for my top water frog so I went with it. Without a doubt the most ferocious strikes I've ever seen. Not the easiest hooksets but it was a blast watching those mean SOB's jump (reminiscent of the creatures in Tremors). I caught no bass at all that day and left with stinky, slimy hands but I think I had more fun than anyone else on the water

And I'm usually left with this ;D

So I have to brag on the kids!

That thing is huge!!!! When it gets warmer we still need to get together and do some fishing.

I agree with the other Floridians.

For me in saltwater, it's jack, snook and tarpon.

Freshwater it's peacocks and bass are way down on my list.  Bass is what I fish for when the ocean bite is off and I'm bored.

Excited to try barramundi.

For freshwater I would have to say crappie (we call them sac-a-lait down here) and bream.

Most of my fishing is inshore saltwater and we go for speckled trout and redfish.  Our limit is 25 specs and 5 reds so when the action is on we have a blast.

My former saltwater location, New Smyrna Beach, makes me miss the redfish

anything that will bite on the other end of my line. Spent a lot of time last summer fishing for alligator gar. Got one about 80lbs and 5'6'' long. That puts a bow in your bass rod  ;D

Pickerel.  Luv 'em.

Lake trout. Right after ice out they're close to shore and hungry!

Cutthroat trout. They prefer high mountain lakes and streams.

Catfish. I'm surprised at how hard they fight!

WOW...I thought this post would kinda keep going but died out, and I'm surprised know one included Salmon (any variety) By far the favorite to fish for when Bass season is closed in the fall. Here's a 36" (only one that season, limited time) when I came home for R&R from Iraq in late Oct '08
