You got 30 out of 37 correct, or 81.08 % First try. It was fish like trout and other such things north of here that screwed me up a little.

Re: name that fish!!!

Hey JB I got the minnows right because I know my baits. Hey what I am saying that is the reason I got the bream right too. Kind of bad mindset because I look at anything that is not a catfish from a bait standard.

First time thru got 30 / 37. Didn't realise there were so many types of sunfish. We only have bluegill and pumpkinseed up here. Heard 'bout those others before but haven't seen 'em b4.<br /><br />Figured them all out second time 'round though<br /><br />Thanks,

Re: name that fish!!!

Only got 37% because the <br />trout family was poorly represented, what is a pumpkinseed anyway? Can you eat it?

Re: name that fish!!!

well the first time i got 64%<br /><br />2nd 83%<br /><br />3rd 91%<br /><br />4th 100%<br /><br />the carps i did not know, the waleye i got but the other two i did not, and even though i do know the pike and musky for some reason i kept putting them in backwards.<br /><br />oh well, i'm a FL boy, the simple fact that i knew any of the northern fish at all is a mirical.<br /><br />derwood.

1st time i got 31 correct....83%....i guess paying 30,000 a year for college pays off. Wait a minute,,,i don't learn about fish there. All i learn is about business, philosophy, playing football and drinking beer.....and trying to get the ladies
