Whats in a name?

[SportFishStaff]

One thing that is always intriguing about the diversity of our playground on SFC. Is the different names for the same species of fish we encounter. The Article by Bud Man about Ahi and Yellowfin and Big Eye Tunas got me thinking. What are the various names of the fish we come across?

Striped Bass, Striper, Rockfish ( Sorry southern boys But they aint no rockfish lol) Rock

Taug Taug, slippery bass, blackfish
