Default How many species?

Peter Collins' thread on states and provinces got me to thinking about
how many species of fish (loosely speaking) I've caught.

On the fly:

rainbow trout
cutthroat trout
brown trout
brook trout
lake trout
mountain whitefish
coho salmon
pink salmon
chinook salmon (fry only)
sockeye salmon (kokanee only)
bull trout
dolly varden
arctic char (probably)
grayling
largemouth bass
smallmouth bass
bluegill
punkinseed (sunfish)
striped bass
bonefish
trevally
puffer
tarpon
yellow snapper
mutton snapper
jack crevalle
pudding wife
squirrel fish
barracuda

by other means:

walleye
northern pike
white perch
yellow perch
gar
carp
croaker
eel

I'm sure I've missed some, including various reef fish in Belize that I
couldn't even identify.
