Hybrids for sure! You can tell when you hook one of those jokers

Thanks for the input! I was trying to limit the post to freshwater fish. The one time I hooked into a tuna was while in Guam with light tackle. It ended up zig zagging through rocks and broke off. It was only about 15-20" from what I could see from the shore and it broke off before I had time to react.
I love the buffalo and carp bite too. I thought they were some hard fighting fish, until I had the opportunity to catch some trout. They definitely put up a good fight and I can only imagine how it would have been had they been in a river, having to fight the fish and the current while keeping it out of the rocks can be a little challenging.

Common Carp. Pound for pound they are the clear winners.
Bowfishing sucks

Carp and hybrid both fight harder than your list, and both can be caught in current if your tackle is strong enough.
Sometimes a bitter man trying to be a better man

Carp and bowfin put up a heck of a fight for their respective size. Hard to argue that a 10lb sunny wouldn't be a heck of a fight too. Never caught a red drum.

Are we going by pound for pound? If so then bluegills for the win. One pound version of all these species vs a one pound bluegill...bluegill will give a harder fight.

most exciting strike...bass, trout
at the first of the fight...trout, redfish, gar, walleye
stamina of the fight...redfish, carp, buffalo
best runs...redfish, hybrids, flatheads, gar
most spunk...sunfish, cichlids, trout, crappie
overall...I would say redfish....but those dang turtles have them all beat in a toughest fight contest.
MAGA

Saltwater I would have to say spadefish. Always get a chuckle when someones putting up a big fuss about having a monster just to end up with a foot long spade. Freshwater I would say Hybrid.
