8. Minnesotans call them eelpout, ling, or lawyer. But which of the names below is the "real" name for this not-so-attractive fish?
A. Burbot
B. Bowfin
C. Freshwater Drum
D. Bigmouth Buffalo Fish

First Ernest Borgnine and now Burbot, where's the love?

good luck!

I got 19 right with the extra credit.

Never heard of the muddle minnow, & the pink salmon was a trick question.

5 on this one. http://www.extension...owa/fishid.html

I got 8 right on the first one, but the ones I got wrong were the two how many native questions, so I do not feel bad.

The second one I was five for five.

This test was too hard for a fisherman, or at least me anyway.

Darter
Golden Trout
Sculpin
Darter
Shadow Bass - to hard to count anal fin spines
gobie
darter

Sculpin
Too hidden to tell

I got 17 on the Minnesota quiz. Biggest fish, cisco and first salmon I woulda got if I had local knowledge.
As far as Dave's quiz goes, I conceed all the darters. I'd need a field guide.
The little trout looks like a golden.
The sunnie looks like a sacramento perch.
Last fish is some kind of mudminnow?
All the rest are muddler minnows.

hey Marcus,

5/10... good effort!

#6 is tricky, so here's the locality: Ship Creek in Anchorage, Alaska.

Bruce, #10 is practically in your backyard, so not Novumbra...

OK, so it's an eastern mudminnow, Umbra pygmaea, with the eyebar. I thought you were trying to be tricky with a west coast species... And Marcus is probably right with the Eth. bellator, with that lateral pattern of darker blotches lightly connected by a line and a maroon lateral line above all of that. I haven't seen one in the flesh for two years now.
