Default Should we rename the whitefish?

Seriously, it's the most under rated fish and a lame name to boot;

Rainbow Trout,, can't argue with that or
Golden Trout
Brook Trout

Lake Trout is pretty bland

Brown Trout is really a beige trout and going for Browns sounds stronger than going for beige trout

So what would be a better name than whitefish, ever catch a lake white on a flyrod, holy shmoly

THUNDERFISH

think how the sportfishing would pick up.

Seriously, if you could rename it what would you call it?

one of the best sportfish IMO they fight like crazy and if u dont have a proper hookset and drag you will loose the fish. they fight very hard for their size

A lot of people refer to whitefish as stinkys

There is a little saying:

Stinky Stinky in the Lake.
Come and make your big mistake.

I vote we call them "Meh, Lame Fish" encouraging people not to fish them leaving more for me.
