I would put it at a tie between these two.
Hybrids are powerful and very fast.
Smallmouths are strong fighters and they can jump. They seem to use the tension on the fishing line to launch themselves out of the water. If I'm using a barbless hook, I can keep them from jumping in the air by dipping the tip of my rod into the water when I'm bringing a Smallmouth in. This way they can't throw my lure.
