mystery fish

[sk_usagi]

Heya,

 

My boyfriend caught this fish over the weekend at BBQ island in Dunnville, but we have no idea what it is. First time i've seen one. Very pretty with big fins and white iredesent colour. Does anyone know what it is?

 

thanks!

That looks like a very large silver redhorse, (not 100% certain, but about 90% sure). My buddy caught one a couple years ago in the Notty, at Angus.

typical redhorse from the grand, very common species

That's a snorkel carp, you can tell.

Thanks for the info!

 

Never heard of a redhorse until now, very interesting looking fish... wouldn't mind catchn' another one even they don't seem as fiesty as carp.

Redhorse...i love'm 1st thing I chase in the spring. I have a report on here from a LONG while back. They can get to a pretty good size.

 

Yours is a silver i'd agree, while my is not....guess im gonna have to live with the pretty red colour lol

They come in to spawn when the dandelions first bloom in the spring. Lots of fun on light gear.

Last spring i gave a local dude a couple he was gonna eat. Old timer of sorts with few teeth and a large cigar. Not sure i'd wanna wanna eat a Moira River Red Horse too badly.
