Good question. Never wrangled with the bigger snook on light tackle, so can't put that into my deductions, but I'd have to say....

The mahi mahi gets the nod. if they grew to be granders, we would never catch them. almost went with the swordy, but the heavy tackle swayed me from it.

Spade stradic 1000.

i think every one of these could be the toughest it depends on the fish and they are all different everyday!!

never caught a swordy yet heard their tough buggers

I thought this was going to be an OK thread but Mike started it to beat his own drum!??

Bwaaahhaaaahhaaaaaaaa.....

good stuff mike. roll with the punches...but why do there have to be punches.

Strike the striper. They are big fat babies. I started thinking about the blue marlin but then I just started thinking that if you treated that big broomstick like a tld 25 and backed off the drag to about 6lbs you would catch that fish in an hour. My vote is the yellowfin on the 50 with 80lb braid.
