Lip-ripper Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 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.

Rod Caster Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiel Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Could be a Fallfish but a general location where caught would help in determining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dontcryformejanhrdina Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike rousseau Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Horny chub? how can you tell its in spawning mode....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishing yoda Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 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!!!

Christopheraaron Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 For those of you reading the post on lesser known species, it's called a longnose gar, not a gar-pike, just say'n . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the spirit of fishing Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
