Pound-for-pound, the lowly pinfish outfights all others


I agree. If pinfish got up to 10 pounds it wouldn't be safe to get in
the water.
If I am at the condo up in Pinellas county I still like sitting on the
dock with a beer and my little untralight rod catching pinfish. It is
like I would imagine that northern river fishing is. I have seen it,
just never tried. I couldn't get excited about wading in 40 degree
water to catch 12 oz fish.


Geez, pinheads, croakers 'n grunts. That must be one big whoop for a
Floriduh fisherman. Tie into one of these with an ultralight rig and you
may well lose equipment:

A similar sized jack crevalle would pull that triggerfish halfway to Texas
before the trigger even flapped his tail twice.

But you keep telling people that triggerfish are the toughest fish in the
sea. It's quite entertaining. But make sure to add the caveat that you
live in Kansas...or they might think that you're on mind-altering
substances.
