1. Redfish (preferrably tailing)

4. If I ever get a chance to get down south, I'm sure bonefish and permit will make the list, too.
5. I enjoy snook but have caught too many to count.
6. Tailing black drum in the NMZ......42.5 pounders to be exact!

I love to fight bat rays. A close second by accident is bonefish. Unfortunately I'm stuck on shore. When on a boat I like tuna.

Caught da bonefish, permit and tarpon before they became fashionable in the 1970's on a Wes Jordan bamboo rod with a FN 2 reel in Belize. Moved on to trevally, blackfin and yellowfin tunas; then climbing the food chain to sails, white marlin and small blues. Haven't gotten a black marlin or spearfish yet, so I'd have to say those are now my targets. Maybe next week when we dock in Kona.................

I have to say my #1 would be tarpon. I enjoy catching bonefish and permit, but tarpon leave you with that "weak in the knees" feeling that not many other fish can do. Sailfish would also be high on the list for tha same feeling.
