Gone Fishing
To honor the generations of Boomers who've fished waters in search of prizes large and small, this puzzle is angling for the names of fish. As simple as shooting fish in a barrel you ask...goodness no, fishing is never easy and you'll find many of these are not common fish for sure. However, given there is wordplay or trickery afoot with many of these fish, you'll catch them eventually once you take their name's sake into account
Each clue strives to help you in your quest so pay attention as the pun will nibble and the play with words will direct your final catch. Don't fret as some fish allude your line, just be patient and work with the number of letters at the end of each clue to help you catch them all
Example: This fish has a heavenly body <8> --> starfish
= 1. What fish sounds like a prolonged cry? 5
= 2. What fish is a singer? 4
= 3. What fish do sailors dread to see in front of them? 8
= 4. What fish can purr? 7
= 5. What fish is clumsy? 8
= 6. What fish is man's best friend? 7
= 7. What fish is a swindler? 5
= 8. What fish is the bottom of a foot? 4
= 9. What fish is a pilot? 6-4
10. What fish almost rhymes with monkey treats? 3
dropped from list
= 11. What fish is a precious metal? 8
