The one fish you haven’t caught but would like to

Mine’s a lake sturgeon. I’ve never specifically targeted one, nor have I caught one by accident. But I would like to someday make a trip to the Rainy River to specifically target them.

Sturgeon is on my list too! I think that would be fun.

Graying or Arctic Char. I would like to catch and eat fresh.

Freshwater: Lake trout
Saltwater: Goliath grouper

Goliath Grouper…whoa. I should have clarified in my original post but for the sake of not expanding to saltwater fish in Australian waters, lets keep it to local freshwater species of fish.

I gave you a local, freshwater species.

X2 on bucket list !

In no order:
Grayling on a fly
White Sturgeon on a tractor.

Sharon, I’m a bit surprised?

Also, there’s no need to go to LOTW’s to catch a good size Stur, there’s good size sturg in the St Croix River…just wouldn’t recommend fishing during the day on weekends until October or so.

If you’re excluding salt water I guess I won’t participate

Oh come on Lindy there must be a local freshwater fish that you’d like to catch that you haven’t already.

A mermaid they are always super sexy on tv with long hair that barely covers their boobies.

Caught sturgeon near home all the way up to 63 inches on the croix. No need to go to rainy unless you like a crowd.

I have never caught a lake trout and would love to through the ice

Jaws with long hair that barely covers their boobies?

You are sick Jeremy!

Someday I’d really like to catch a Steelhead. Until then, I’m not entirely convinced they really exists.

SR

Thirty inch walleye or bigger.

The only one I haven’t caught that I’d really like to is White Sturgeon. I would also like to catch trophy sized cats and lake sturgeon, but I have caught smaller versions already. But more than any of those is more 30″+ walleye, only got one so far!

I have a bucket list of fish….mix of fresh and saltwater. I’ve crossed a few off the list but here’s what remains for freshwater:

30″ walleye
50″ musky

I’d also like a laker through the ice but not as particular on the size. I don’t really ever fish for Musky so I need to start thinking about how I accomplish that one.

Oh they do…and they’re delicious (MI and WI waters)

For me, I’d love to catch a 20″+ Coaster Brookie. One day….one day…

I’ve never caught a monster flathead either, that would be a close second on the list

Steve, Unicorns do exist. Just get your rear end down here when I tell you to, and we’ll scratch that off the list.

I have two inland fish yet to catch before i die

Stonecat

Tigertrout Bk x Br- inland – I got an outlying one at the power plant in oak creek. Never seen an inland one yet

For me its a Peacock bass. Not one of those small ones in Florida waters but one of the big tackle smashing ones in the Amazon River.

As far as a more realistic one, a big Lake trout through the ice.

Mn: Gar

My 54 came off a spinner bait while bass fishing forest lake. Just go bass fish out there or white bear

Alligator Gar

The illusive Green Sunfish.

-J.

Any and all kinds of trout and salmon

Musky

Tarpon

Yeah, Alligator Gar is up there for me! So much more of an interesting animal than a lot of these so-called “sportfish.”

There’s a few I haven’t caught that I really don’t see the hype in. Maybe someday I will understand dedicated Muskie guys more. I have nothing against Muskie fisherman. I’ve had Muskies on by accident while fishing for other fish and they’re cool to see, but I’ve never boated one. I’ll be fine if I never end up catching one; but If I do by accident… then BONUS! I promise I’ll treat it nice and release it.

Lake trout through ice. Only tried for first time last winter but was not successful.

Snakehead

Arctic char
Cutthroat

Grouse

Took the jaws part out sticking with only the mermaid
