re: What fish have u never caught and want to catch

wtf is that first fish?

I just want to remember what catching one feels like. It's been too long for me.

I love this thread. When my kiddos get older, I want to take them on a trip each year chasing some different kind of fish/game. Never done it much myself or traveled much so look forward to sharing that with them.

Roosterfish
Giant Trevally
YFT
Bonefish on the fly
Permit on the fly
sailfish period but preferably on the fly
Triple tail
Bull Trout on the fly
king salmon
coho salmon
steelhead
Golden dorado
Tigerfish
Wahoo

Peacock bass
Any kind of billfish
Cobia

ETA: and a big tarpon

Well, beggars can't be choosers but.... Tarpon.

But I'd trade that for all the red drum I can handle

Man I wish I had acces to clear water like that here.

I shite you not, back in the early 90's. I was standing chest deep in the surf at holly beach (Cameron) and could see my toes. We were reeling in 3 and 4# specks like they were in a bucket. When swells would come in, you could see the fish running through them. fishermen were standing damn near shoulder to shoulder in the surf just basking in all that was holy giving praise to whichever God had brought the blue water. It's the only time I've ever seen it here.

Anything that swims in Alaskan waters

Wels Catfish
