Great contest Brian. I looked over all the fish and there has to be a few that are the same species and some are hard to tell but here is my guess.
1. cutt, hard to tell if that is a cut under the throat or the color of a cutthroat.
2. Striper
3. Bluegill
4. Yellow perch
5. Rainbow
6. Striper, wasn't for sure about this one but the size made me think striper.
7. Smallmouth, and a nice one too.
8. Rainbow
9. Rainbow
10. Largemouth
11. Cutthroat

Both of you were able to identify most of the species correctly but didn't get them all. It is a little more difficult to identify the species with just pictures. When someone guesses them all correctly I post what body of water each of them were caught.

Instead of Rainbow Trout for #8, is it a Chinook Salmon? I think I see a little black around the mouth.

We have a winner.
Bigcat, send me the address you would like me to mail the ice flies/jigs. I might not get around to mailing them out until next week.
I'm about to post another set of pictures that I think will be more difficult.
fight4not,
Good to see you are still checking in.

Good job Bigcat. I don't think identifing the species with just those pictures is near as easy as it first appears.
The next set of pictues has been posted in a different thread. I think it will be much more difficult. I'll be surprised if someone else guesses it correctly on their first try.
