holy jebus...there are some fish i have never even heard of!!!
Here is my list as far as I can remember. I know that others will crop up as memories are triggered. So in no particular order.Sunfish, bluegill, pumpkinseed, shiner, spot, weakfish, stargazer, bergall, walleye, brown bullhead, yellow bullhead, spearing, skate, croaker, crappie, stickleback, chub, johnny darter, blacknosed dace,quillback, eel, sculpin, stoneroller, smelt, channel catfish, white catfish, ling, mullet, bunker, killiefish, sundial, brook, brown, rainbow, and lake trout, landlocked, Atlantic, and Chinook salmon, steelhead, sheepshead, carp, sucker, bigmouth bass, smallmouth bass, rockbass, striped bass, yellow perch, white perch, pickerel, pike, musky, shad, river herring, blackfish, bluefish, fluke, flounder, porgy, kingfish, fallfish. Of course I don't know if the suckers were all from the same species, and I have counted Atlantic salmon and landlocked salmon as different fish although some would argue that. Similarly I believe that a steelhead is a fish of a different color than its cousin the rainbow trout. So I've laid down the gauntlet I know there are some of you out there who can kick my butt so have at it. Just fun, ya know.FM
