The Piscisea Trivia Challenge: 5 Questions, 5 Free Jerseys

Piscisea Tech
We love a good dockside debate-whether it's about the best knot for braid or how to read a kelp patty. To mix things up with a little fun, we put together five quick trivia questions covering fishing knowledge, species, and a quick nod to our gear.

Honor system rules apply: no pulling out your phone to search for answers on Google while you read!
The first 5 readers to email us with all five correct answers will win an official Piscisea Fishing Jersey.
Send your answers to support_team@piscisea.com with the subject line "Piscisea Trivia Challenge" (and don't forget to include your jersey size).
