I'd like to know your opinion, pound for pound, which species fights the hardest?

Why leave out Striped Bass and Hybrid Stripers. I suspect they would be the winners.

I totally forgot to add them to the poll. I guess I can chalk up your vote to +1 for stripers.

Bluegill or smallmouth for sure. Here hybrids cats etc have size but nothing is crazier pound 4 pound than the former.

Carp, Buffalo and alligator gar.
Carp will outfight those ditch pickle green trash fish anyday.

I voted for the rainbow trout. Never caught a Brownie. Striper would be second, Hybrid third. Love catching those hybrids in the small creeks during the spring on light tackle.

All those listed would be behind a Hybrid, save for the bluegill.
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space!

Pound for pound, on tackle that is scaled to the species, my opinion is that sunfish are the hardest fighting of the fish listed.
If green sunfish reached 10 pounds, you'd have a far harder fight than the others.

I think sandbass do.
Think about how little they weigh,
and what a battle they put up.

If by rainbow trout you include Steelhead (ocean or Great Lake run rainbows) it's rainbow trout hands down.

probably tuna and marlin even though i've never caught one. I think carp fight ridiculously hard, they feel a lot like redfish. Hybrids and striper viciously fight to the very end.
