Dont think I've ever seen one.
That thing almost looks like a big off colored goldfish. If i had to make a guess thats what i would say!
It looks similar to a fish down in Texas. I cant' recall the exact name, it is like chicklid or something.
I went and looked, the fish I was thinking of is a Rio Grande Cichlid. Google Texas freshwater fishes. Not exactly but close.Quote:

Might be the start of another evasive specie like the jumping carp!
If I were you, I'd forward the picture and location of catch to ARGAF. Like Krappie KG said it may be the start of another invasave fish. Heaven knows we don't need any more of those. Take it seriously and send it in.
horse head sucker.....is what they call them in kentucky
Maybe, but I haven't seen any horse head suckers with that much color. Maybe some kind of sucker hybridQuote:

Chupacabra with gills maybe??? ;)
in 09 in a march fishing trip on the lil Red we caught a crazy lookin lil fish...it was the first time i had ever pulled my line up and said what the heck is that?? come to find out a local trout club had introduced these lil bottom dwellers into the river for the BIG Browns to eat. heck i dont even remember what that fish was called, but it is interesting to see a new species.
Fetmo
My first thought was man I bet a big flathead would eat that in a second. Put me in for a couple hundred about 3-4 inches long.Quote:

Hawgdog, did it look a lot like this?

By the way, this is an extremely common fish in our streams and rivers. I've seen them up to 12" and caught them on light tackle before.
That is wild.. Can't ever say I have seen or caught one of them before!!
Yes Big Ben....That is the fish....a lot more color, but the article says they color increases during spawn....THANKS !!!!Quote:
