Description

Hooklineandminker.com is a rare fish related blog that is maintained by Josh Minker. In his blog, Josh describes his quest for one particular rare fish the prehistoric Coelacanth. One section of the blog is the Coelacanth Journal. Certain entries in the Coelacanth Journal hint that it was at one time hosted on a different site and was at some point merged into hooklineandminker.com due to technical difficulties.

About Me Section

In the About Me section, Josh describes his love of rare fish and lists his email address as a way to contact him regarding fish species:

Photo Slider

A Flash object photo slider is embedded in the blog which contains photos and descriptions of rare fish. Each image description has a reference to a website which hosts the original image.

Fish Facts

Six fish facts are listed on the blog.

FACT: Over 25,000 species of fish inhabit the earth’s waters today.
FACT: The queen parrotfish wears pajamas at night: a sleeping bag of mucus excreted from an organ in their heads. This cocoon hides their scent from predators.
FACT: The sailfish is the world’s fastest swimming fish, reaching speeds of over 60mph!
FACT: Bass fish have a sixth sense called electroreception. This sense allows them to detect chemicals, lights, electricity and vibration.
FACT: Not unlike trees, the age of a fish is determined by the growth rings found within the small bones of the inner ear.
