what fish have you caught that put up the best fight?

Spring Chinook in small tribs. Have had a few go unbelievably crazy. One on the SF Salmon actually ran to the opposite bank, jumped on to land, and flopped 5-10 yards up the shore before returning to the water and breaking me off. All that occured in the blink of an eye.

honorable mention goes to big smallmouth, steelhead within spitting distance of salt, and sturg gotta be in the mix somewhere.
