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

Idaho: 27lb carp on a 7 weight rod that I had to shoot to land; it ran me into my backing so many times that I couldn't get it close enough to net it. A week later, my fishing buddy caught a 32lb carp on a 7 weight rod that he couldn't stop either. We tag teamed that one. Or trying to land two 6lb plus Kamloops that I hooked at the same time while fishing from my pontoon boat. In Alaska, before I even knew what was happening, my first King jumped 200 yards down stream from me. I put on the rodeo just trying to catch up to it! In Canada, it is hard to beat catching large pike on a fly rod. I haven't had that much fun or laughed that hard or ever had such chewed up hands. In the magic lake, pike will chase a large mouse pattern like a shark chasing a seal. Or throw them a frog pattern to see them come out of the water to attack it!
