Is this a Muskie(fry)??

The pics are a little fuzzy but it looks like a little muskie to me. Hit on a 1/32 tube jig while fishing for some pannies today.

That’s a cool little fish

I’m not 100% sure, but I don’t think it’s a muskie

Found this on Google. I say hmmmm maybe?

I googled some pics before this post too. They look pretty close, but I’m not sure. I’ve never heard of any muskies caught in the area I was fishing but anythings possible on the mississippi.

I googled muskie fry and found these. It says they are 1 month old.

Logperch maybe?

Targaman,
I think your right. I’ve never heard of a logperch, but after a quick search found a pic that is almost identical, even the black spot by the tail. Thanks for your help.

Did you get it on the miss. river or.?

I usually catch smallmouth bass spitting these guys out…now I know.

Hey Randy,
Yes this was caught on the back waters of the miss. by Wabasha, I caught one a few years ago on the lake too and just thought it was muskie fry. The only problem I had with this is that I’ve only heard of a couple muskie ever caught on Lake Pepin. These little guys could pass as a muskie fry though.

Log perch is the correct answer collected several in my ichthology class

how do they taste and what did you catch it on?????

Had a smallmouth on Pool 2 today that coughed one up. The smallmouth hit a parrot colored hair jig with black bars on it.
