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.

Rainbow, brown, brook and cutthroat trout. Do hybrids such as the cutbow
count?
Rocky mountain whitefish
Bluegills, pumpkinseed and various other unidentified allies.
Rock Bass
Smallmouth bass
Largemouth bass
Northern Pike
Muskie
Black and white crappy
White bass
Walleye pike.....and probably sauger.....not at all sure I could tell them
apart.
Yellow perch
Coho salmon
Chinook salmon
Channel cat
Bullhead
Bowfin
Various "suckers"
Sundry, "minnows".....dace and other unidentified tiny fish
Sculpins of one sort or another
Myriad "chubs"

All of the above except the bowfin on flies......most of them also with bait
and/or hardware.

I've also gotten grouper, red snapper, snook and others that I never
identified or have forgotten with a spear gun.

Also, many thousands of smelt with nets.

If you didn't leave the nets in the sun so long, they wouldn't have smelt.

Well, I didn't include palomino rainbow trout or the nearly dead chum
salmon I foul hooked in Alaska, but everyone has to follow their own
consciences. :-)
