Most powerful fish?????????

[Guest sslatter]

No ben88.. the grayling is a coarse fish.

[ben88]

sorry my mistake

There is no such thing as a 'Game' licence. There are licences available for migratory and non-migratory fish. Brown and Rainbow Trout as far as Britain is concerned are non-migratory and hence can be fished for on the same non-migratory licence that people are able to fish Carp puddles with.

 

FWIW - As far as I'm concerned the Grayling is as much a game fish as any, the Adipose fin tells me that!

[ben88]

yes paul that is exacly what i thought, or what i was told by the stars on the tv.

 

so what species are classed as migratory fish then??

[Tog]

Sea trout, Salmon and Eels are 'migratory'

Eels of course are 'coarse' and 'sea' fish?! even though they migrate??!

Grayling are classed as 'coarse' although they are an offshoot of the Salmon / Trout family?!

Sea trout are brown trout that like to take holidays at the seaside!

See it all makes sense?!

 

Oky Doky, no 'sea' fishes, no half 'gamey' fishes and not counting eels as they migrate, I'd say the best fighting 'proper' coarse fish caught on the correct tackle for the job is.....

#1 The Perch

Yup, old Strippy himself puts up a great fight if your not using carp gear!

Tog

[wheatsmum]

kleinboet says you are all wrong! Ask anyone who has caught a Sturgeon!

[Tog]

Probably be discounted under the migratory rule!?

I had a 45lb 7oz catfish..tackle used was a 12 ft // 2.3/4lb test dream maker with 12lb big game and my god that was a hell of a fight....so im gonna have to rate that ....

[chesters1]

coo were you sea fishing with all that heavy stuff

[Dick Dastardly]

Mullet,Catfish,Bonefish my favourite fighters.Even though I like catching grayling cant really see how they can be regarded as a top fighter.Supose small river carp on light gear must also rate as top fighters.Pound for pound its got to be the humble Mackeral.
