andamtoft Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 just want to see what everyone's opinions are... Quote
CatBassin Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 For right now I'm gonna have to say largemouth. I've never fished for smallmouth but hope to have my boat ready next year so I can get to out on the lake and give it a shot. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted April 23, 2009 Super User Posted April 23, 2009 Jeez, another asinine pole. Unless you are working on a research project what do you hope to learn? If you ARE working on a research project you have omitted many qualifiers. For example, if I live in the South I would prefer to catch LM, because the are no SM. In short, the responses to your poll will be meaningless unless you specify a geographic area. Quote
bass or bass ? Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 My response was largemouth because smallmouth oppertunities are very limited here compared to largemouth. Happy fishing. ~B.A.S.S.~N.A.F.C.~BoatU.S.~N.R.A.~A.M.A.~ Quote
alger319 Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Large mouth! well mainly cause we don't have those mean mugs down here... i just like pullin on them fatty LGs Quote
adclem Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Couldn't really answer never fished for small mouths bass. I hear it is awesome. Looking forward to getting to try it some day soon, real soon. Later, Quote
swilly78 Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 There is just more LM waters convenient to me, but smallies are alot of fun. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted April 23, 2009 Super User Posted April 23, 2009 Out of the two, LM simply because I've never been in an area that has smallies. If peacock bass were on that list that'd be my number one hands down. 1 pound peacock fights like a three pound largemouth. Quote
Super User South FLA Posted April 23, 2009 Super User Posted April 23, 2009 How about adding: Spotted Suwannee Shoal Peacock (although technically not in the sunfish family) My vote went to Smallmouth, cause in my opinion they are more fun to catch than LM....too bad we don't have them here in sunny S. Florida! We have PEACOCKS! Quote
fishizzle Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 this Poll should be limited to those who have smallies in their lake. Quote
Super User cart7t Posted April 23, 2009 Super User Posted April 23, 2009 If I had more SM available to me in the lakes I fished I'd probably fish more for them. Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted April 23, 2009 Super User Posted April 23, 2009 If I had more SM available to me in the lakes I fished I'd probably fish more for them. same here Quote
Super User CWB Posted April 23, 2009 Super User Posted April 23, 2009 I prefer Largemouth due to the variety of ways you can fish for them. I love slop fishing with frogs and skipping baits under docks and boats, neither of which will result in many SMB. As far as catching and fighting, Smallmouth. Quote
Nitro-bass Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 In my opinion smallies are a better fighting fish then the large mouth bass. So I would have to vote for small mouth bass. Quote
farmpond1 Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Hands down, my answer is smallies. But like most everyone who has responded, I'd fish for them more if there were more places to fish them. Quote
tritz18 Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 love them both but I mostly fish for largemouth so I voted for them Quote
bass wrangler569 Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Smallmouth all the way. When it comes to fighting, largemouth aren't even in the same league. Quote
bigfruits Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Jeez, another asinine pole. Unless you are working on a research project what do you hope to learn? If you ARE working on a research project you have omitted many qualifiers. For example, if I live in the South I would prefer to catch LM, because the are no SM. In short, the responses to your poll will be meaningless unless you specify a geographic area. its asks "which do you like catching better?". geographic area has nothing to do with it. if youve never caught a smallmouth or never caught a largemouth then you shouldnt take part in the poll. ill take a 4lb smallie over a 6lb largemouth any day Quote
aarogb Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 I will be happy with whatever is on the end of my line if it is of decent size. I voted for LM because we have no SM down here; and LM fishing is all I have ever known. I wouldn't mind going up north and catching a few SM instead of LM just to see what is like. But I think I will be more happy with LM. Quote
EastTexasBassin Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 I'm not sure which I like better because I've never seen a smallmouth in person. I've never fished any waters that had smallmouth. I wish they could live down here in texas... Quote
iFisch Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Panfish. Nothing like catching a 13/14+ " fish on UL gear with UL reels. Otherwise, LM. Quote
coffee Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Panfish. Nothing like catching a 13/14+ " fish on UL gear with UL reels. You got that right. One of my favorite fish to go for is the good old bluegill and right now, Kentucky lake, which I live about 15 minutes from, seems to be growing some bulls. I like catching smallmouth more than largemouth, but largemouth are more abundant, so I'd say its a toss up for me. Quote
