i think my favorite would be tarpon in the 60 to 120# range. The brute force is mind boggling , the jumps spectacular and for, me ,they can be frustrating at times. I cant stop going even as expensive as it is.

My casting goes to hell when a large pod approaches or casting to the edge of a daisy chain, I CAN cast better than that! Every edge on my shoes attracts the loose line on the deck.

A close second would be false albacore, although the presentation isnt anywhere as critical here, to strip a clouser or a crease fly through the mayhem of flying bait and birds and have a 12# albie slam it going 35mph gets the heart goin---

i havent caught a permit or sail on fly but they are on my list
