You'll start seeing those up in the shallows in a couple of weeks doing the dance.The big momas will be splashing and thrashing with the boys schooled all around her.

According to the link you attached (which was very informative, BTW), the redhorse sucker is only in the South, Savannah River etc. Sucker never the less and a great call on your part. I have seen them about 6 or 7 pounds in the Clear River in Harrisville RI.

The fish also had some 1/2" wiskers out of it's mouth, and it was funny how I caught it , my son Mike and myself we're swimming Storm Pearl Shads & switched over to FLO GREEN LEADHEAD w/ CURLY TAIL , the fish it the jig then nothing I pulled one more time and im on
I'm saying to Mike I'm on and then it felt like I hooked a boot ( dead weight) I had the fish fouled hooked and it had no movement ,I slowly brought it in and got it up on the grass and took the pic and sent it back

I can't belive that spot hasen't given up a holdover yet I'm trying to wake them up . I think the temp must have something to do with it
or the H2O has not enough salt in it but their are fresh water Stripers caught
go to go EAT

Believe me /far less holdovers this past winter season .. A continuation of the decrease we keep seeing ,but doing nothing about ;;;;;;;;;;; exact duplicate of the past .when they waiting til there was a handful of large before they woke the F #$%^&*( up .:af:

If you were fishing where I think you were, the upper portion of that river was loaded with suckers last week. They were doing their spawning thing, and the ospreys were having a field day on them.

Yup, and without experience and wisdom book education is just that.

It's not moral to catch a fish by it's butt no matter what kind it is

You're right, I did'nt look at the link close enough. I've seen plenty of them caught, they are spawning right now here or should be shortly.

Def a sucker. Seen them in a plymouth pond but never thought they would take a lure. Get the adrenaline going when you think you spot a 6 pound smallie in the shallows or on a bed but its really a darn sucker.

they reproduce quickly, one can say a sucker is born every minute.

Looks like a Carp or in the same family!
