And we have OldTimer's Fish Identification guide sitting in the resources section this whole time!! I gotta link to it!

The little Rainbow Darter and Johnny Darter are in the Perch family which Walleye, Sauger and Yellow Perch are also members of the same family.

People see latin names are an impediment and a hurdle...it is actually something that will fully enlighten the curious minds.

Another good few examples!


MuskieBait, perhaps you can start a ID Help thread and we can sticky it in this section. In there you can put a blurb on how you like to photograph a fish for identification and what you'd like to see for help with ID's.
