I never really caught any perch that fought hard. Now bluegill, that's a
fish. Pound for pound the toughest freshwater fish there is. Simply
ferocious.

While I agree about bluegill being the toughest freshwater fish, it is a
member of the Sunfish family (along with bass) and people often mistakenly
call it a perch.
