Statistical Fishing Chart for 2017 (Last Update: 01/28/2017)

That is right, folks! The "Statistical Fishing Chart" is a feature that is back on the Extreme Philly Fishing Blog! Though, there will be a few changes to it, all of them noted below. :)

This will be my Statistical Fishing Chart for 2017. Every catch that I perform will be registered in terms of number, photo and Species. This will help me create a little "fishing diary" and keep scores and data along the year. This post will be updated regularly.

Before you read any further, here are a couple notes that you will want to take in consideration:

-- All fishes in this post were identified by Extreme Philly Fishing with the help of many primary sources and peer reviews. Primary sources include fish identification guides (i.e. Peterson, North America Freshwater Species, etc.) and peers include experts in the field of Multi-Species angling, all with a list of 200+ species under their name.

-- Some Species of fish here are identified using special methods. Those include microscope analysis for micro-fishes and special analysis of their physiology (i.e. anal fin count). The microscope that I use is a M500 series from AmScope.

If you want specific data on a certain Species, location, bait, or time of the catch, shoot me an e-mail: sheng12182527@gmail.com. If you believe that there are inconsistencies in this post, shoot me an e-mail as well. :)
