Toughie, but good, peppa!
fun.
Peppamintp so glad to see you on site again - I've missed you. Great teaser. I got all but one before looking.
I got a few, that was a good one.
i gotta say i havent even heard of most of those but had fun trying it
I guess I dont know my fish very well
I got most of them. I am so glad my brother and son are into fishing.
I was only able to get 5 out of 10 correct. I knew tuna, trout, flounder, salmon and snapper. The rest were too hard for me. This was fun to do, though!! Keep 'em coming!!
I thought I couldn't think of that many fish until I read the answer!
Cool teaser but i didnt understand what to do properly but i got tuna
Neat brain teaser. I could only figure out the first seven . . . never heard of the last three kinds of fish. Had fun trying though!! Thanks.
LTSA fun, Peppa. It really teased MY brain!!!
This was really hard, and really boring! You should come up with easier, and funner ones!
... c'mon, kistin. Easier isn't BETTER. Where's the growth in that???
Most of us are here to learn stuff and to exercise our brains!!!

awesome job got all but one.but it took me awhile...very nice
This teaser was fun. I didn't get them all, but really liked it.
I knew right away there was something fishy about this puzzle, and the catch was a challenge.
My hubby would have loved this one. And because of him, I got most of them.
feste, I loved your quip! peppa as usual you rock. Loved it. I got seven right and probably would have gotten more if I had been a little more patient. Great job!
Whoa! U gotta have great interest in Animal Kingdom to know that many fish.
I got 8 out of 10 right. It's my first time here..it was fun. Thanks!!
IT WAS HARD! i guess i dont know fish too well!

twas hard!
as a diver and wildlife enthusiast, good one!
I liked it. Got most of it!
But when I saw the answers I did learn a few new fish. Thanks.

Very good Got 8 out of ten and learned something new,
Only knew the first seven! But learned three more today! Great teaser!
my friend and i went on wikipedia and looked at all the fish names to solve the final 3 clues. Wow, there are alot of fish names. Also my friend added an extra garbage name at the end of my list to confuse me. And it worked. There aren't any fish with the letters WOMCN!
Too too easy!!!
GIVE ME A CHALLENGE, THIS IS SUPPOSED 2 B A "BRAIN" TEASER.
This was a challenge! I floundered over 8 & 10, until I found a website that listed species of fish (thank you, G--gle). I agree - if it's too easy, it's not fun. Gotta have that rush from solving a tricky puzzle.
I got the fish I knew. It was fun Thanks.
Good one. I didn't get all- heck, I hadn't even heard of some of these, but thanks for making us using our noggens.
I got most of them. Good puzzle
What the heck is a porgy?
And a pompano?
I had punt instead of tuna for the first one. Isn't a punt a fish????

It would be a real teaser, if you didn't give us any letters!!!
Got 7. I enjoyed it. Challenged my wee brain.
Good one. I only got six, but I've never even heard of the last three!
Good Job!
That is a very challenging teaser.
I loved it I got #1,2,4,5. On the others I drew a blank as usual.

me again, lmarray why don't you submit a teaser and show us how to really challenge people? then we will all know what a real teaser is. that is if you dare
lmurray, sorry I got the spelling of your name wrong.
Just don't know my fish! ONly got 7 right!
well,if youre into fish this seams to be a good one but if you dont know youre fish it may be to diffacult to get...i persenaly think that it was a great one..
Good ONE!!!
I got all but the last one. Never heard of a pompano. Anyone know what/where a pompano is?
I didn't get pompano, but the rest I knew. Just goes to show you how much stuff you never use is wandering around in your brain. I always marvel at what trivia is stored in there. Keep up the good work.

I love to eat fish, but I didn't get notta one, but it was fun to try!
Just challenging enough to be really a lot of fun. I didn't know all of the fish, but I had great fun figuring out the ones I did. Thanks!
I got the first 2, Great teaser
I only missed three I never heard of 6 and 8. Good teaser though
oops, I have to heard of herring...
What's a porgy? Got the rest. Good teaser!
I missed a few, too!
and then I wrote GROPY (thinking of grouper I guess)
Good quiz - thanks!

Hey, Auntie Sis - where are you???
hmm got the ones for fish i had heard of before.. very good for the gey matter _ Thanks
Something fishy about this teaser.
Here I am, Gayle. Good quiz, kinda easy because I love fish, although I wouldn't eat some of the ones in this teaser.
Unless you know a lot about fish you really need more bait to hook this one!
I don't fish, I don't eat fish, so I don't know most fish species.
Was able to get 1-7 without even looking at the letter pool. I got 8 by going back and figuring out what letters I had left. 9 and 10 stumped me.
Fun puzzle, even if a tad on the easy side. I don't eat fish at all, but hubby likes to fish and my family and most of my friends are Newfies, so maybe some of that rubbed off.

I LOVED this quiz - by a process of elimination, I was able to get all of them. I love fish and other seafood but my favorite is salmon, which I have often. I'm beginning to swim upstream now. I'd like more quizzes like this one. Thanks!
Nice puzzle.
Below is a copy of the comment I posted last night on the previous TOTD by Gizzer.
Does anybody have any information on her?

Terrific, wonderful, creative, and challenging puzzle.
One of the best examples of the best of Braingle.
Click on "Gizzer".
You get - "member no longer exists"
What a sadness. What a shame.
Did she get "axed" for some editorial brouhaha?
Maybe somebody here knows???
My Dad (the original "BadBunnee") had a great relationship with "Giz".
Maybe that was the cause of her "demise".

Little Green man! I doubt you will get an answer to your question as I do not think any one but a couple of us come back to look at the site the next day to see the comments. I have written to people many times and received no answer is why I am thinking that. Good luck!
I loved this puzzle. Just the right amount of challenge for me. I didn't get them all, but really enjoyed trying to figure them out! Thanks for posting.
simple and enjoyable
You used some obscure fish for this one. Bet most people didn't know "porgy" had a meaning outside of the musical.
Nice try, I managed to solve most of them, however who neglected to do their homework?
No. 6 can also be: "Grinner", which throws the whole puzzle out!
