[mainbutter]

Jeez I've been fishing since I was a kid I don't remember all the specific species once we get into stream trout and especially rough fish.

And FORGET about trying to figure out all the weird stuff I've caught out of the ocean.

I'm proud that it only took my first full fishing season in MN to land a 48'' musky in this wonderful state I've had worse luck trying to chase channel cats!

Edit:

The list that is easier for me to put together are the species I'd love to catch but haven't had the luck yet. I'll stick to MN fish:

1) flathead catfish

2) black crappie

3) eelpout

4) bowfin

5) sauger

6) walleye (only caught these once in my life, over 10 years ago and in canada)

That's what I've gotta work on next season

[JBMasterAngler]

I've been in the boat while someone else has caught white sucker, long nose gar, and chinook salmon.

[Jim Jensen]

Wow, I've been fishing for thirty some years and I would have no idea which ones I have and haven't caught. Other than the common ones. Also if you fish in other states fish have different names.

In Louisiana the Bowfin is called a Shoepick and a Fresh Water Drum (Sheephead) is called a Gaspergoo. I've caught them so I guess that is two for my list. I did alot of saltwater fishing down there, I wouldn't have any clue what I have caught other than the Redfish. I think it would have been cool if I would have kept a list. I guess I could start now.

[JimJim]

I just want to know if catching the Koi was a drunken night in someones pond or actually on a lake.

[roughfish29]

haha i'm 14, so no. it was out of the cannon river. its definately one of my more memorable catches

Care to give up your orange spotted honey hole? I have went specifically looking for this one at a couple lakes with low numbers, but haven't caught one yet.

[roughfish29]

you could try the bass ponds behind the mall of america, thats where i got mine

[bobbymalone]

you could try the bass ponds behind the mall of america, thats where i got mine

huh... thanks! I thought I would have to go further south. Did you catch a lot of them?

[roughfish29]

you have to sort your way through alot of greens and bluegills, but you will catch several.

i had the best luck in the smallest pond that is there, its called "skimmer pond."

good luck!

[fiddleFish]

This is the best I can remember of hook and line caught species from 45 years of fishing. I know I've left off a few but I'll give it my best. Now I'm starting over, this time I'll get pics of all of them.

Its pretty optimistic - a lot of luck will be needed.

I just started hanging out on roughfish. Congrats on your greater redhorse in '09. 'tis a nice catch.

permit

bones

tarpon

redfish

cobia

etc...

and I'm missing a black marlin and a swordfish...and a bunch of other sharks. And peacock bass, they look amazingly tough!
