View Full Version : Hardest fighting fish? Have had some hard fights with the finned variety out there but was wondering what fish people would class as the hardest fighting fish that they have experienced. Is it Mackeral, Cobia, Dolphin fish? For me it was a 15kg Lontail Tuna which really stretched the arms. It's the time of year that the speedsters are in our waters. Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences.
Regards, Poodroo. G'day Personally, A toss up between wahoo, yellowtail king and cobia They all fight completely different but all verry good Dave. Pound for pound would be jacks ,cobia ,and dare to say whiting ; George. Pound for pound would be jacks ,cobia ,and dare to say whiting ; George and i've read some of georges reports,,,,,,,,,,,,, ;D ;D merry chrissie mate ,,,,, i just hate getting these things,,,,,,,. I reckon the bigger the fish, the harder they fight as a rule, but the mighty Cobia gives you a surprise at the end as you try gaff it into the boat They roll like a crocodile and break rods inside the boat if you have any lying around on the floor.
Toughest fish I have ever locked horns with my a mile!! Hi guys, Brian, if you are on-line please PM me your street address. I'm still trapped in the less than 10 posts and cannot PM yet, but I'm getting there.
Have a good weekend. Although they dont grow as big as some other speices, the Bone fish would take some beating for there size, they resemble whiting, and the largest bone fish I have caught was 6kg. So if you can imagine a 6kg whiting on a line you will know what i am talking about. Pound for pound, no prestiege, bonito and stripeys, been lucky enough 2 make a few trips to the more exotic locations but not bassland png , including Lord Howe, but this is my opinion.
Fresh, tandanus pound 4 pound would be my pic, another "lesser" species, but hope to tangle with a bluenose cod one day, I hear they just don,t give up!!!! The hardest fights I have had were either Cobia when they keep coming up to the boat and kicking off again or a couple of Yellowfin Tuna around 40lb on spin gear. I didn't know how to break up their circling under the boat so I just sat on top and pulled hard.
