Nice pics. Definitely not a sucker....most likely a mooneye.

Tough to tell. Mooneye or Gizzard Shad.

Pretty positive it's a shad.

[Roy]

Yup, hadn't even considered shad but that's even more likely. The anal fin is a giveaway for either unless I'm missing something.

[Christopheraaron]

Atlantic!

 

Nice shots.

[kickingfrog]

I say shad as well.

Too big for a mooneye, unless they get bigger than the ones we used to get flyfishing in the Grand or that is a very small Osprey. Shad sounds good. Where are these pictures taken??? that would go a long ways to figuring it out.

[Twocoda]

pictures were taken at the Bluffers Park the Osprey was her target to capture....the fish is a bonus! ...Thanks guys..I hadnt considered a Shad either...I was stuck with goldeye and mooneye

Shad (big, wide body), not trout, not mooneye (small, narrow body).

[PikeMolester]

pretty sure its a shad as well

[OhioFisherman]

A shad was my first thought too.

Post spawn largemouth bass

[Terry]
