what is it?

 

I think it a sucker... A big one too. Nice job

Is the mouth low enough for a sucker? Looks more like a chub.

Deeky is the winner. It is a rather large creek chub that came out of the water several times and fought like crazy. He took line off the reel like a dozen or more times. Took me a few minutes to get him in.

Nice...I catch those in the creek I fish for smallies to...I've hooked them over 20 inches before...They do fight like mad....

I thought it was a chub too. But then the lips did look a little different. so therefore I thought it was a sucker. But that's a big chub.

well Jeff as my buddy would say bigger the bait bigger the catch so strap that big ole chub on a trebble hook and a milk jug and catch a whale of a pike :hyst: nice catch they always add some fun and usually scare the bejesus out of you when they hit in non trout water lol

That's what I was going to say! Nice Fallfish. They hit flies readily and get bigger also.

Oh well creek chub/fall fish they all seem the same to me. Whatever it is it hit like a freight train and fought hard

If this fish was caught in my part of the world(Berkshire England) I would say it was a Chub and a good one at that I have caught them from the Avon at odd times and they will readily take a fly or Nymph and on the dog of the day in high summer can give some good sport.Nice fish well done
