Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which one of these freshwater fish from New England will eat almost anything you throw at them and are the easiest to catch?

Answer: Sunfish

Sunfish are the easiest to catch, they are pests to me. No offense to animal lovers, but they eat everything including your hook.

2. Which of these fish seem to give the best fight?

Answer: freshwater eel

These guys give one heck of a fight! You need a good, strong line to keep them from snapping it. Catching them isn't even the hardest part about them, it's getting the hook out; they are extremely slippery, you simply can't get a grip on them!

3. Which of these baits are the best to catch pickerel with?

Answer: shiners

Shiners work the best, or almost any kind of shiny minnow.

4. Which of these is illegal to use in Northern New England? (freshwater)

Answer: lead weight

Lead weights are illegal because they poison the water and fish when they are lost.

5. Snapping turtles always avoid fishing lines.

Answer: False

Quite the opposite actually. If they see the bait, they snap at it. If he doesn't snap the line, you'll have to. There is no easy way to get the hook out with your hand still attached to your body.

6. Freshly caught shark is very good food for you.

Answer: False

No it is pretty bad for you actually, they urinate through their skin.

7. The safest way (for yourself) to get a shark off your fishing line is to take the hook out and let it go.

Answer: False

Unless you want your hand bitten off, this is not the best way. You should cut the line.

8. Which of these is also known as horn pout?

Answer: catfish

These catfish have stingers by their whiskers. Hence "horn"pout.

9. Which of these fish have the sharpest teeth? (freshwater)

Answer: pickerel

Good luck trying to get a hook out of this guy's mouth. These guys bite!

10. What are fish categorized in when they are together?

Answer: schools

Everyone who fishes should know this.
