This is a question for the moderators. I was just curious what determined what species of fish our title icon was. I just noticed that it changed again. I'm guessing it's the number of posts we have, am I close?

10000 post is alot of posts. I had thought I posted alot until I looked it up and only had 101. That's still more that most I believe, but still. 10,000??? 1,000 would be an achievment. [laugh]

Just curious, why is "Sturgeon" on the list twice, once at 4000 and again at 8000?
Also, why does the Channel Catfish rank right up there with the Tuna, Swordfish, Sturgeon, and Marlin?

If that was a flathead catfish, I could understand why it ranked so high. Anyone who's hooked one over 20 pounds would agree.

There must have been a typo when they made the chart. To date, there is not logical explanation for it coming up twice.
My theory is that the sturgeon was caught and released and was caught againg at the 8000 post mark.[cool]

I fully agree. That's one of the only ways to be able to catch a bigger fish in the future.[cool]
