Unidentified species (pic)

[Lip-ripper]

Went out last night chasing channel cats, and ended up catching a couple of these guys in the process. We weren't sure what they were. Do you have any idea? They were about 12-14 inches.

 

 

 

Oh, and we caught some channel cats too. My buddy got his best one so far this year weighing in at 10 lb, 10 oz.

I caught a couple of them last year, one at 15 inches.

Its a fallfish from what I understand.

 

Good job o the catfish. I'll be looking for them later this summer.

Too much outdated Viagra getting flushed down the drains.

I make the play whenever I can...

Could be a Fallfish but a general location where caught would help in determining.

I'd be cutting them up for catfish bait

I've caught those in Paudash and Centre Lake around Bancroft. They seem to fight pretty well for their size, Not sure what they are though.

Horny chub?

 

 

how can you tell its in spawning mode....?

[Fishing yoda]

looks to me its either a really big creek chub or possibly a mix of fallfish and cisco, the dorsal fine kinda makes it look like cisco a bit! but it's probably fallfish from what i can see. here, Nice catch on the cats!!!

Check out this thread Trouty...some good info on the fallfish...what I thought orginially was a horny head chub

Thanks guys! Looks to be a fallfish for sure. I've caught them before but never though anything of it.

males will have tubercles ("horns") on their head, which means they are very much in the mood

For those of you reading the post on lesser known species, it's called a longnose gar, not a gar-pike, just say'n .

[the spirit of fishing]

Years ago we caught those when we were fishing for channel cats on the Moira River.They were always a welcome catch because we'd immediately filet them and use the filets for bait.It seemed to be what the bigger channel cats liked the most!

Nice catch.
