Did you create a variable named $bluegill? Where do you create this? I have no clue as the video didn't cover this....

I am not getting this at all. I get the class Fish{} but where would you make a variable in this?

fish.php
<?php
class Fish{

}
class bluegill{
}

?>

Hi Joshua,

It's asking you to create the bluegill variable and setting it to an instance of the Fish class. Try:

<?php
class Fish {
}
$bluegill = new Fish
?>
