Ice fishing - musky, pike, bass, ect with 5 tip-ups
Ice fishing - perch and crappie jigging
trout - stockies on kastmasters, small spinners, worms, fatheads, ect
bass, pickerel, crappie, ect - spinnerbaits, live shiners under a bobber
musky - chucking big lures for hours on end (boy does that kill your shoulders quick)
stripers - on the surf with clams and cut bunkers, occasionally a popper
Keep in mind all my "big fish" (stripers, blues, small tuna, musky, ect) gear is the same medium action baitcast gear used by most for fluking and certainly not what I use it for. I always try to use lighter gear than what is the norm for the species which results in fewer fish landed, but memories that will defiantly last longer than just pulling the fish right in with little or no fight.
Looking forward to heading down to my buddies house in Wildwood this spring for some huge black drum as well as stripers and then later in the year for schoolie bluefins not too far offshore (gotta love that seawall a few miles offshore). Maybe a sharking trip mixed in there somewhere as well.
