I would say that it depends a lot on the tackle you're using. I've had a blast catching 18 - 20" schoolies on my 6# setup, those same fish would not have been fun at all or put up much of a fight on my 50# gear.

Seems to be about 25 is the scappiest size I run across. But I'll agree with salheart, an outflow on the ebb, size matters! |

Sometimes those low to mid-20's thin & long "racers" put up a great fight as they seem to make faster runs... |

I think it's as much a factor of when. When fall approaches, their internal clock tells them they have to eat ahead of their thousand mile migration. So when they have their feedbag on during that time, a schoolie will give as good a fight as any. Fish of all sizes seem to be on steroids then.

A mid May to Mid June 30 to 35 pounder will go like a freight train.

For some reason I have found that Pound for Pound in my opinion a 32" striper is a great fighter.
