Largemouth Bass and Green Sunfish make my list. Both fish are fun to watch with great personalities. I really enjoy watching them eat their pray.
What is your favorite native, and why?

Even though I want a Central Missouri Longear tank and I love catching the beautifull Ozark Bass ( Ambloplites constellatus) , I would love to have some rare Handpaint Bluegill or a pure strain of Florida Bluegill (when they go into spawning mode the males get a almost purplish hue).
Rock bass/Shadow bass. Probably obvious by my name. 
Runners up would be longear, green sunfish and checkered madtom.
Longear are very colorful, but I like the green sunfishes personality better. And I like most native catfish, but I had a checkered madtom for about 4 years and he was my favorite due to coloration.

Sculpin!!!!

Fallfish, they're great, showy fish and look awesome in a large display. Mudminnows run a close second for me.
Longear Sunfish, they have the most color and come in a variety of colors as well. I've thought about getting rid of my 90g African Cichlid tank and filling it with them.
I had a black bullhead years ago that was a very cool fish, bluegill's also, they're beautiful and seem to tame out so quickly, watching your every move when you walk into the room. Got a chain pickerel about 2 months ago, he is a very cool fish, I've alway's thought pike and their relatives were the baddest predatory freshwater fish in the Great Midwest.
