So many species are incorrectly identified.
I picked up a Redhorse Sucker while fishing for Rockies. The trailer-park jury showed up to watch the battle, then oood and aaad over the 'rare species of carp' I had caught.
Caught a large Sauger once and a simiar crew of rookies told me I had caught an albino walleye.
Often in southern Alberta, any pike over 15 pounds is referred to as a 'musky'.
I have heard Lake Whitefish called carp.
Cut-throat trout classified as juvenile Rainbows.
And the list goes on.
