Messed up some sunfish,(sunfish..bluegills..whatever, they are all panfish), the minnow(took 3 tries for that one..what did I expect, I basically only fish with artificials..), 2 catfish, 2 trout(forgot to correct a answer before I clicked submit on one of them), and the 2 "carp", didn't look close enough at the picture of one. So I got a 72 on the first try.

Messed up the last carp.
It claims I selected yellow bass for the white bass????????
Now how would I get yellow bass right and mess up white bass.
Check your answers guys .
And was not sure what the yellow catfish was because the only ones like that I have seen were on Erie, guys out there said they were young channels, but the answer was used .
So what is that yellow catfish?

Picky, but - the yellow catfish should be "yellow bullhead" and there were a few fish spelled wrong. Also, those prints were all by Joe Tomelleri and I did not see his name referenced anywhere. I suspect they were used without his permission. Joe is a great guy and does a lot for the resource, and to boot he is probably the best scientific fish illustrator alive, at least in North America. He doesn't deserve to get ripped off. Don't know for sure - this is the kind of thing that he would probably give his permission to easily if asked, but I would expect to see him cited somewhere.
