L.D. Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Smallmouth for me, however I've never caught a peacock bass before. I hear they are great on topwater lures. L.D. Quote
jake Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 I voted smallmouth, but if I ever get the chance to go for peacock bass I may have to change my vote. Quote
trfishin Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 i voted for smallmouth as that's what i have to fish for most of the time unless i travel quite a way to go for largemouths. trfishin Quote
basspro48 Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 PEACOCKS ALL THE WAY!!! I catch peacocks in the canals of melbourne and west palm in Florida, the way they smash a topwater bait and fight until the very end is simply amazing. Quote
Ozarker Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 River smallies, which is what I do best. 3lb. smallmouth, 6lb. line.....Oh yea! I love fishing for Largemouth too though. Quote
Valascus Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 I voted for Largemouth, simply because around me that's what is the most accessible fish to catch. I get the feeling once I hook into my first Smallie they will quickly change my mind. Quote
squid Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 I voted for the smallmouth, only cause I have yet to fight with the Peacock Bass. That is my goal in life....to go there and catch a 20#'r and fight it for a while.... Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted April 6, 2006 Super User Posted April 6, 2006 There isn't a whole lot of places around me for small and spots, so I usually go after largemouth. Quote
Valascus Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 I agree...they are all fun to catch. I will fish for whatever species of bass seem to be biting. Quote
sodaksker Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 smallmouth, They hit hard, fight hard and are excellent at throwing the hook. Quote
vtbassin Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 I would hate to limit myself to only one type. I like both Smallies and Largemouth! ;D A big pike now and then is fun too! : Quote
mjhutch1116 Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I had to pick smallies. There is nothing like a smallie slamming your lure and trying to drag you down the river with him!! Largemouth run a close second in my book but for my money nothing beats the smallmouth for pure fighting ability. (at least out of the species that I have caught). Matt May your line never break on a big fish Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted April 7, 2006 Super User Posted April 7, 2006 I voted for smallmouth, but I actually spend more time fishing for stripers. Whenever I have the option, I will always fish for smallies vs. largemouth or spots. I tend to catch a lot of largemouth and spots fishing for smallmouth, but it rarely (never) works the other way around. Quote
Hula Popper Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Smallmouth fight harder, but I like the largemouth for its size. Stripers are big, and fight hard, but they are so hard to catch. Quote
