Striper and wiper are harder to tell apart once you start getting into the 5 lbs and up range but striper don’t reproduce much if at all so unless you are fishing on a main lake that stocks them you are unlikely to catch a striper.
For my money wiper are the hardest fighters there are. They hit hard and sustain their energy for the entire fight which they drag out for a long time.

I thought I had a state record white bass when I landed my first Wiper. It took a little while before I realized what it was.
I agree about the fighting. Great fish to catch.
