Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Come on guys, this is serious!! I'm going to give away a MuskieFIRST Coffee Mug for the first COMPLETELY correct answer, as in the correct name. Don't need the scientific classifiaction, just the fish's proper name.
I'm pretty sure fred isn't it.  |

Location: Algonquin, ILL | Joel, NO YOU DID NOT BEAT ME, you asked if that was a "AMUR PIKE" indicating that you were not sure,
I said it is an "AMUR PIKE" and included his name "FRED" as well, Now JIM V is stating that it is not "FRED" but his
twin brother "BART" so I guess we both loose 
This web site has info on all kinds of fish http://www.fishbase.org Check it out some interesting stuff

Location: Algonquin, ILL | Working as a Data Analyst I did some checking this is what I found
Fish Common Name = “AMUR PIKE” no argument there
Fish Sir Name: If you convert the Letters of the given Sir Names “FRED” or “BART”
To the corresponding Greek Alphabet letter and then convert that into the Chinese numerical value you will
Get a English value of 10,15,8,14. Now convert these numbers back into the Standard English alphabet’s
Corresponding letters and you will get 10=J, 15=O, 8=H, 14=N
What do you get “JOHN”
HA HA, I WIN

Location: Algonquin, ILL | Tuffy1: Nerd is it . well if you apply the formula to "NERD" you will get Standard english numbers 10, 15, 5, 12
10=J, 15=O, 5=E, 12=L, OR "JOEL"
For Steve's question check the web site provided earlier
