My vote must go to the rainbow wrasse

I love watching steelhead videos, the colors, the silver, the red, green, blue and those big attentive eyes. And while trout, steel, salmonoid fish are my cup of tea in grace and beauty the wrasse is pure art. I also love Mahi.

Nature has exquisite taste

The Southern Appalachian Brook Trout, especially in spawning colors, is hard to beat.

I lived in Ashevile for years, they are glorious nice pick!

 

[athabascae]

Grayling. No contest.

Fish

To be fair, I think one would have to to have two categories of fish -- salt and fresh. In saltwater, I do not have a clue because things are so diverse. In fresh, however, I would pick the steelhead or the Atlantic salmon.

Dorado, aka Mahi Mahi

 

[Rifflehitch]

Coolest fish would be the Rooster fish, otherwise steelhead!!!

I fish for Atlantics but I must say the eastern brook trout is prettier. Then again they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

You mean is in the eye of the Rod holder

 

[Leo M]

Yes the rod holder.

For me, a salar fresh from the salt .... sexy beast :smokin::smokin:

Prettiest fish is the one I happen to have on at the time!

 

[Phil Fravel]

Dorado....

A sparkling and liced (preferably long tailed) spring Atlantic barely edges its counterpart steelhead in similar condition fresh from the Pacific. 1 and 1a. Those Atlantics look like liquid mercury still carrying the neon blue/green of the ocean on their backs.

Eastern brook trout in his fall spawning colors. Next would be the long eared sunfish in spawning colors. Both are lit up like a neon sign.

No question, Westslope Cutthroat.

Yup, this is also my choice during summer. Steelhead during fall.

 

[Weiliwen]

A BIG one!

 

[Copper Caroline]

Dolly varden or arctic char in spawning color are very hard to match...

Think I would agree with Rifflehitch for the wildest looking one - would be a Rooster
