What do you reckon, pound for pound, is the hardest fighting fish found in British waters?
I reckon it's between Mullet, Barbel and overwintered rainbow trout, but what do you think?
What pulled your string the best?

Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

Never caught a mullet but I would go for grayling - 2lb grayling certainly fights harder than a 2lb barbel.... Still fight like fury when you try and un-hookem too.

I've never caught a grayling so can't comment on their fighting ability. I'd go for either barbel or eel, an eel over a couple of pounds fights like the proverbial demon.
