Sheepshead? Jeeze, that's like pullin up discarded bicycle tires.
Triggerfish put up a real fight and are worth eatin. Down Mexico way the
boys filet em for ya soon as the boat hits the dock. Triggers are
probably the fightenest fish pound for pound you can sling aboard.

Tomorrow, I'm hooking up the smaller boat to tow an hour and 50 minutes
across Alligator Alley and fish for Sailfish.

Would seem you have a truly trailerable boat then. Wouldn't want to lug
a Parker 25 that far.

Skipper,
From what you have said in here, you took a few very memorable trips to
Mexico as a kid, took a few great trips as an adult.

I am curious as to when your next trip will be.

Pound-for-pound, the lowly pinfish outfights all others...followed closely
by anything in the tuna family, and most fish in the jack family.

I've caught plenty of triggerfish. They are excellent eating, but a bear to
clean. But I never pulled one up and said to myself "damn, that was one
tough fish". I'd put their fighting ability on par with a small black drum
or a sheepshead.

Why not? I sold the 25' Whaler to my dad, and he bought a trailer for it.
My Sequoia tows it just fine.

Yep. The pinfish is like a small bluegill. But pound-for-pound, it's a
heckuva fighter.

The last time I was in Miami Beach for a conference 4 of us guys chartered a
boat and did some fishing. I could not believe how strong (pound for pound)
the sal****er fish are compared to what we catch in Lake Erie.. We ended up
with a nice catch and had them filleted and cooked at a restaurant across
the street from the charter captains marina.

We had a great dinner.

A Mexican fishing website? Mexicans are small people. To them, that
triggerfish probably feels like a humpback whale.

I've caught triggerfish. To call them the "toughest fighting fish
pound-for-pound" is ridiculous.

Musta been one o' them Floriduh or eastern triggers. Tie into a West
Coast Trigger and you'll quickly realize you're in for a fight. You
know, they do have special camps for eastern dudes when they come out
west.

We could scoop those into the boat with a landing net behind a chum
line. I've caught hundreds, literally. A jack in the same weight class
will run for its life. Triggerfish don't compare.
