I only have eyes for...you!
It’s been a while since our last round of the Name that Fish Game…luckily Big Fred Contaoi got out there with the trusty iPhone again and snapped this shot. So, what is it??

Name that Fish
It’s been a while since our last round of the Name that Fish Game…luckily Big Fred Contaoi got out there with the trusty iPhone again and snapped this shot. So, what is it??
Big Fred got loose (again) with his new iPhone 4S on a recent mission...
Okay all you armchair biologists out there (real ones, too!), see if you can get this round of Name that Fish:

Finally...I stumped ya'll!
For the first time in Name that Fish history, I finally baffled you guys! Normally, you nail ones pretty easily that I think are pretty tough. Of course, I had to resort to trick photography here and get super zoomed-in, but hey a win is a win…I’ll take it! :)
The answer I was looking for was: “WIPER.” We had several close calls, including Eric T’s guess of white bass and Wilson and others had striped bass…but the fish was actually a cross of the two: Striper x White Bass = Wiper, which are popular in many lakes in the southeast. The closest lake to the West Coast that has ‘em is Lahontan Reservoir in Nevada.
Most creative guess: Jeff LaShell’s “Mermaid. Costa Rican. Haven’t seen one this closeup since Spring Break ’92.”

Mmmm...fish stix!
This round of our Name that Fish Contest comes from one cold and windy day in Kodiak Alaska, when Ron and I did a little surf casting along the shores of Anton Larson Bay. This denizen of the deep bit a swimbait fought like, well, a wet gym sock.
Can you name it? Hint: they make great fish & chips!

What the????
Okay, here’s an interesting one for the ol’ Name that Fish game: I caught this odd fella on the Buskin River in Kodiak, AK on a pink Mepps. From downstream, buddy Ron asked me what I had on (there were silvers, reds, pinks and dollies all in the same hole) and my response was…
“It’s…a…um…well…holy crap, I have no clue…”
What really threw me off are all the spots below the lateral line. After taking a close look at this thing, I’m pretty sure I have an idea what it is (hint: think: “hybrid”). But before I reveal my thoughts, go ahead and give us your best guesses in the comments section below…

This wild looking critter taken in Malaysia has been spotted in many waters of the US and, due to the fact that it’s widely adaptable and has a sweet tooth (teeth) for native fishes, several states have gone to great lengths to eradicate these unwelcome visitors.
This is really a pretty easy one…use the comments section below and “Name that Fish.”
