Name That Fish: What The?? Edition
Name that Fish: Win ISE Tickets Edition!!
Okay, so this time around our Name that Fish Contest isn’t its usual semi-worthless self! Instead of winning nothing but the self gratification of being smarter than the next guy by guessing the identity of this fish, you can win some free passes to the Sacramento International Sportsmen’s Expo, which runs this week!
But of course, to get the tix, you’ve got to work a little harder for it! Instead of guessing in the comments section below, you’re going to have to click over to our Facebook page (click the button in the upper right hand column of this webpage) and then “Like” our FB page. Then, give us your best guess. I have a stack of tickets to dole out to the first folks who get it right! Contest runs until I’m outta tickets!! Again, you’re gonna have to post your guess on our Facebook Page!!
Name that Fish: “Cartoon Fish” Edition
So, we are back on the mainland now, but here’s one more kooky looking fish my kid caught in Kauai. You guys were all over the last one…a wrasse (though nobody got the type, which was a “surge wrasse”)…so I figured I’d make it a little tougher this time!
Use the comments section below to give your best guess as to what this fella is. And, no, what one of our pals said “Looks like a cartoon version of Big Fred” is not the right answer!

Name that Fish: Fishing in Paradise Edition
Taking a break from surfing, I took the kid down to the point in Kauai for some “tropical panfish” action.
Using a light spinning outfit with Berkley GULP sandworms, Coop had a ball catching and releasing all sorts of colorful and kooky-looking critters.
Can you guess what this sucker is? Hint: This particular variety is fairly rare in Hawaiian waters due, in part, to the fact that they have a willingness to bite baited hooks (duh!).

Name that Fish: Strange Denizen of the Deep Edition
Okay all you fish heads, can you identify this beast from the deep?
It was caught by some friends of a friend last week off the Nor Cal coast while they were trolling for albacore.
Anybody know what it is?
Name that Fish: Crazy Kwikfish Edition
So, here’s a slightly different twist on our good ol’ Name that Fish Game. While buying hooks in a funky little tackle shop in a funky little town deep in the California Delta, I found this Kwikfish hanging alone on a peg next to a bunch of striper lures, its package covered in a 1/8-inch of dust.
I’ve never seen this color before, so I had to buy it just for kicks. It didn’t have the name of this paint job on the back of the package, so I’m leaving it up to you guys…what the heck should the name of this baby be (or let me know if you have encountered this pattern before and know the actual name). Use the comments section below to Name this Kwikfish! I’m thinking some sort of Lady of the Night theme may be appropriate here…you know, like “Red Light Lady” or “Roxanne” or “Street Corner Siren” or “Bunny Ranch Betty” or “Metallic Mistress” or?? You tell me!
Name that Fish: I Honestly Have No Clue Edition
Whatever it is...it's damn ugly!'
Okay, so here’s a special edition of Name that Fish! It comes from our buds over at Adien James Lures and I can honestly say that I have no frigging idea what this beast is.
It was taken on a Senko in Northern California’s Hennessey Lake…anybody have a clue what it is? It’s clearly not a sucker, carp or squawfish, but beyond that, I’m not sure…
Name That Fish: Ol’ Black Eyes Edition
Look into the eyes of this predator and see if you can Name That Fish! Big Fred Contaoi snapped on one if his travels far and wide.
