Re: Guess the species by skin and scale.
Well I wish we had a few more people play, but these kinda guessing games can be tedious at times. Tim and Kanus the two of you made good solid educated picks, and know a thing or two about fish.
#1. Just a Rainbow trout from the Yellowstone river.
#2. Snook from Keywest.
#3. Brown trout from the Bighorn river.
#4. Arawana- I thought this one would trip a few folks up, but it didn't. Great game fish w/ really good eyesight.
#5. Carp, from the Bighorn. And here is another one caught on the Yellowstone, w/ a different look to it's scales. An over looked gamefish in my opinion. With that said I still don't fish to them enough.
#6 Redfish.
#7. Brook trout.
#8. Peacock Bass ( Cichla temensis).
#9. Cutthroat trout.
#10. Rainbow.
#11. Surubim catfish. Not the Tiger, but I'd love to catch the tiger.
Here is a Redtail cat Tim. It ate half a Piranha.
#12. Anther Cutthroat trout. Interesting guess w/ the Piranha, because looking at the skin shot photo I could see how you would guess that, I've caught some w/ small black spots and a red underbelly.
Here's an up close skin shot.
Close up of the business end.
Close up of an idiot after he was trying to get a photograph of the teeth. Yes it's me. I'll never do that again.
#13. Another Peacock Bass. (C. temensis again.)
#14. Brown trout from the Yellowstone. Some of the Browns on the Yellowstone can have a true blue hue to them.
Thanks for playing.

Re: Guess the species by skin and scale.
Dell, that was a great quiz and I did better than I thought I would. I mostly guessed Pirahna because of the other SA fish involved...a semi-calculated gamble.
'You been swingin' any big streamers?
I went and looked at one of my favorite skinny water, Snook/Red spots of all time a few days ago. It's a long, long way off the beaten path and you've gotta scratch the hull pretty good to "get in."
'Empty...completely empty. A moment of silence please.
