I do. I enjoy multi species fishing. Its like playing pokemon IRl.

Not me. Bass, sunnies, bluegills, crappie, pickerel...

 

To each his or her own, eh?

 

Oh, and welcome to the forums!

Sort of ~

 

If Swamp Donkey, Tank, Slaunch, Pig Money, Mogan & Grande are on that list, then my answer is Yes.

I enjoy reading about the biology of the fish I target,so I learned a couple scientific names of fish.One of my favorite names is  Megalops atlanticus. 

I don't think I could give you the Latin/scientific name for any finfish off the top of my head.

 

The only name that comes to mind is Homarus Americanus, a species which I pursued to make a living for nearly thirty years.

 

Nope.

No, I can barely speak English as it is. Adding words with lots of letters arranged in funny ways into my everyday vocabulary would only further prove how big of an idiot I am.

Never gave it any thought... I just did...No

No most of the times, when it comes to aquarium fish ( both salt and freshwater ) it´s more common to use scientific names with a lot of species.

Like bucket mouth, sow belly, lunker, pig, cow, toad, big'm, dink, keeper, smallie, is the language of bass angler.

We can't agree there is difference between micropterus species!

Nope... I just love fishing for them. 

Not since my college zoology class 40 years ago...

Nope.....I'm too ignernt

No, and I don't ponder the physics of fishing either.

Anglers are hilarious -- always going out of their way to avoid sounding too literate...

If you use the scientific names for fish, you will be known as an angler and one to be avoided.

 

Use the common name you will be known as a fisherman and will have friends that are fishermen too.

Fair enough.

 

Still hilarious.

No and I hope I never want to either.

Speaking of the top of your head....

 

It might sound scientific if they were big and slipped off my hook at the boat.

Nope

 

"Bass" is a lot easier to say than "Micropterus salmodies"

I always thought that every time I catch a fish it was wizardry and hocas pocas so i am always to busy looking in my book of spells to catch another so it's a no for me.

Piggamus Hawgamus Fattylum Girlis....  

I see alot of "dinkis minimus" being caught but not enough "hawgus maximus"
