March 7, 2020 at 12:53 pm #1920818It was caught on pool 4
March 7, 2020 at 12:55 pm #1920819Looks like a cross between a carp and a whitefish. Maybe a sucker?
March 7, 2020 at 12:55 pm #1920820Green sunfish.I think it’s a little discolored from the sun.
March 7, 2020 at 12:55 pm #1920821What kind of mouth does it have?
March 7, 2020 at 12:58 pm #1920822It’s a quillback.
March 7, 2020 at 12:59 pm #1920824Quillback river sucker. The dorsal fin is a dead giveaway on a Quillback.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuillbackMarch 7, 2020 at 1:09 pm #1920826It was 31″ long
March 7, 2020 at 1:18 pm #1920828Man, that’s a big quillback. All the ones I’ve caught have been less than 5-8 lbs.
March 7, 2020 at 1:33 pm #1920831Possible mn record?
Carpsucker, Quillback 7 4 22⅝ 18 Upper Red Lake
Lbs/oz/length/girth
March 7, 2020 at 1:55 pm #1920838I released it. I’m fishing in the freeze your butt tournament. It was over 10lbs. Have never seen one. I thought quill back but it was too big. Tiny mouth and head
March 7, 2020 at 2:22 pm #1920840That’s actually a blue sucker. A rare catch in MN. Congrats!

I believe hes correct.
March 7, 2020 at 3:20 pm #1920872Common carp with the zika virus.
What a fantastic fish, nice catch.
March 7, 2020 at 4:18 pm #1920894Yep that is definitely what it was. Thanks

Yep, I retract my earlier ID. It appears Vern nailed it.
March 7, 2020 at 5:02 pm #1920905That’s one I have never seen! Congrats.
March 7, 2020 at 5:11 pm #1920906Not a record then but a Damn fine specimen. Nice catch!
March 7, 2020 at 6:02 pm #1920913Very rare catch!!! Very nice.
March 7, 2020 at 7:18 pm #1920936That my friend is a Blue Sucker. They aren’t very common in Minnesota, but you can find them if you look hard enough. Heck of a specimen!
March 8, 2020 at 8:57 am #1921024Matt had it right in the first reply, although I think it isn’t the common snook but rather a swordspine snook.
March 8, 2020 at 10:08 am #1921049Nice fish whatever it is.Is it a PB?

Yup,me too.Never saw one before,nice fish,congrats.

Personal Best AKA the biggest fish you have caught of a species.
March 8, 2020 at 3:26 pm #1921106That is the only blue sucker I have caught, so yes on blue sucker PB. Not the biggest fish though.
March 8, 2020 at 5:50 pm #1921146Nice! I caught one under the bridge in St. Peter about 15 years ago. Blue suckers are very rare!
March 9, 2020 at 8:56 am #1921224I don’t know if it is legal there but sucker meat is great bait here in Utah. The Lake Trout and Burbot love it!
March 9, 2020 at 9:03 am #1921229Oh probably two years ago I started a thread about fishing white suckers because of how many I’d see on the camera fishing pool 3 in the winter.
Lots of disagreement regarding what I was seeing… but what you showed here is what I remember seeing! A blue sucker. Might be more common than you think… just a rare catch!
That’s a whopper!
