Well, it's not a hundred percent certain. Both trout and salmon can take an -s in the plural, though deer doesn't. Bass (the fish) can be bass or basses when pluralized.

I personally wouldn't add the -s or -es, but on the other hand you will never ever see me writing about more than one mongoose!

After all this beating around the barn, all I can say is that I don't know the answer, but you certainly have raised a fine question.

Welcome aboard, though if you want to stay in the water that's fine too.
