7 opinionated prattle:
Ah, you are moving out of the realm of Alaska sport fish - looking at some exoctic or to some very dedicated biologists erotic species. The top fish was easy to identify, it is no other than a Blackie. The second picture is really rare, it is inthe smolt stage (baby) of a Duckbill Platipus. At first I confused the Blacvkie with a tldrnhe
Wanted to send a sizeable contribution to KCC because I think their cause is justified and not just another green peace organization, unfortunately I could not find a mailing address for KCC so I used some of the money to buy myself a nice "hot pork sandwich" for lunch and a truck load of hay to feed the moose this winter. Much easier feeding the moose than it is keeping the bird feeders filled. Maybe next year, i will try to budget in the KCC once again. Caught a re4al nice fgeqds at the Beluga Slough this afternoon, largtest one that I have seen in years, appears that the run is almost at the peak.
Although your knowledge of fishes has expanded far and wide on this great earth, the answers you have conjured are not accurate by any account. You prodded my search for odd species of fish by your pic. of a "Cisco" - from there, my ADHD mind has run many directions. The first fish in this blog is a "Ruvettus pretiosus. palu-talatala. oil-fish" of the mackerel family. Find info at; http://www.nps.gov/npsa/NPSAfish/fish_pops/gemphl/mackerel03.htm
The second picture is of an uncommon variety of paddlefish, or, "Polyodon spathula". Also known as a Spoonbill.
I'll work on a paypal account for the well-known KCC so that many caring citizens can help in this endeavor.
Hey, I got both of those correct, the Blackie is the common name for that specie of Mackeral and the Spoonbill is in the same family as the Duckbill, all of them have the common long flat nose. Some biologists believe that these flat billed fish were actually land dwellers and slowly evvolved to the water. The remaining specie of this evolution that has remained on land is the variety of anteaters - now you know the rest of the story.
My apologies for your deserved passing grade, Grand Pastan. You have, obviously, been around a LOT longer than most of us and definitely know your critters. I hear that HengeHog is a delicacy in China and the gall bladder fetches more than that of a grizzly in their market.
I heard that about the Hedgehog, reportedly it is an outstanding aphrodisiac. Do you eat the entire hedgehog or just the bladder.
You fill the bladder with sake and bury it for 3 weeks-then pour it over the roasted carcass as gravy. The tail is used for a "swizel" - soaking the rest of the sake like tea - but only if it is a left-handed hog.

If you feel the incessant urge,
and your tongue is sharp and quick,
leave a worthless thought for me
whether cool, or fun, or sick.
