I'm pretty sure I'm wrong, but hey, I graduated with honors on guessing alone.

To easy....perch. That's a 6" blade on that knife, that puts the perch in the 12-13" mark..ie. A nice one. Can't be pike cause the Filleting does not have the length it needs besides it would not be a nice one, or mentioning within 2 hours of Calgary, any other species would also be to small to mention..so perch it is! Or not...but i'm all in regardless!

BTW...cool post idea. Well done!

Walleye - I would have guessed except its too small to be legal under most circumstances so I gotta go with Jumbo Perch.

Definitely not a trout or whitefish ........

GOTTA BE A JUMBO PERCH

yum

I don't catch nor keep allot of whites but it looks exactly like a small walleye fillet (the shape and the red meat along the center-line) - perch tend to be very similar in form as both are species of the same family.

The discolored meat, when I've filleted a white, is more brownish and the meat a different "whiter" shade from what I remember.

Also the shape, chest cavity etc.... definitely look like a perch/walleye family.

Just a theory I guess ......

If that knife is over 12" tip to butt - the perch was 14" - so a SUPER JUMBO HUMPY.

A couple of the places BEEGUY likes to hide and fish also hold some extremely large perch but nobody targets them. I have a theory about that too.

If I'm correct - I'm looking cool - If I'm wrong on both accounts then life goes on.
