No, not even close, the strongest fighters in fresh water are
the humongous striped bass below the Guntersville Dam on the
Tennessee River, but we were talking about hardest fighting
freshwater fish *pound-for-pound* and I'll still go with the
bluegill.

And tossing split shot and pork rinds with a fly rod ? Good
lord, that's just *so* wrong.
