2011 Species Wrap Up
 

Decided to keep track of how many species I could get this year. Thought it would be cool to catch as many species, as how many years old I am. I needed 32. Might be easy now, a bit more of a challenge once I turn like 60.

Here they are, not really organized. I have a few size upgrades on a few species, but decided to keep the pic of the first of each species I caught.

Here they are in no particular order

That’s all. I also got anchovy, but no pic = BS, so I cant count it.

Completely new species for me this year were:
BSB
Leopard
Pile
Johnny
Pile
Bluefin

I’m always really stoked to get a new species. One of the coolest things about the ocean is the variety of fish, you never know what could be on the end of your line.

One fish that eluded me this year in a bad bad way, were those pesky yellowtail. I didn’t down to LJ that much, and when I did I heard a lot of “You should have been here yesterday”. I hear they are all chewy and nasty anyways, and guys just throw them back, so its no big deal I guess… :biggrinjester:

Gosh!!! more fish than Sea World; thanks for the post and Happy New Year bro... :)

That is cool!

WTG Steevo, great fun post. I got a long way to go.:D

what you have as a Queen is a yellowfin croaker.

nice variety.

Very nicely done, you have quite a collection there, fun post thanks for sharin...happy new year:reel:

Yeah Steveooo
Pretty solid year dude but wheres your sarcastic fringehead????:cheers1:

Great job. That's always fun to set out on a mission and stick with it.

That was a cool post now i can see a reason for my by catch . i'll stop bichin and start cheering for variety:)

i had one of those bite the crap outta me! they can stay on the sea floor.

Great post. way to get alot of species to your boat.
