This for me. Those saying grinnel are nuts. They are pretty poor fighters for their weight and have no endurance at all.

YFT. jacks fight hard but once they get in the 30 ft range they quit fighting. if you get a yft in 30 ft or less he can still strip out 100+ foot of line many times over.

Gargle eye, fresh water even though choupique is way up there. Also I find they fight harder than a brim.
Spec is way up there salt water. I think a 4 pound spec will outfight a 4 lb redfish every day of the week.

Are you kidding me? Specs practically jump in the boat.

I agree with AJ's and Jacks, another real tough one is the Tripletail
