Well if you’ve ever found yourself in that position the latest release from the North Carolina Wildlife Commission is right up your alley. Then again maybe you’re an expert but do you know what the current state record for a pumpkin seed is? No!! Then this new on line tool is made for you too.

RALEIGH, N.C. (May. 5, 2006) — Ever reeled in a fish and wondered, “What the heck is that?”
Well, wonder no more. The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission this week unveiled the North Carolina Sport Fish Profiles Guide on its Web site to help anglers identify their catches.
The fish identification guide provides color illustrations of 33 of North Carolina’s most popular freshwater sport fish species, along with information about identifying characteristics, habitats and habits, tried-and-true fishing techniques and the best places to go fishing in the state.

This looks like a handy tool to help identify fish as well learn about the specie and how to go about catching it. Seems about the only thing they don’t tell you is the best way to cook them. Even if your not fishing here in North Carolina there is plenty of information here to make you a better angler no matter where you call home.
