Ham Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 Not lamprey wound and bloody fin. In the water, this fish looked like it had a stripe running down its side.

Ham Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 #5 Northern Hog Sucker. Pretty comfortable calling this one.

Al Agnew Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Dang, Ham...I'm pretty good at IDing fish, but those kinda have me stumped. I don't think either of the ones you're stumped on are redhorse at all. The first one looks like a really big white sucker, with the scales that get smaller toward the head. And that last one...if you were in Montana I'd call that a mountain sucker. The really long body and really long head look just like the mountain suckers I catch out here in Montana fly fishing. And it for sure doesn't look like any of the redhorse species. It just doesn't match any sucker species that I know of in Missouri. I'm in Montana right now and don't have my fish ID books, but I can't find anything on the internet that both looks like that one and lives anywhere near Missouri or Arkansas.

Quillback Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 8 hours ago, Ham said: 4 th guy. Help Me! Well if I was to place a bet, I'd say it is a Western Creek Chubsucker. And a good one as they supposedly max out at about 10 inches. No record for one listed in AGFC state records BTW, but Arkansas is in their range of distribution.

Ham Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 I'm gonna go with Make and Female White Sucker. I'm confused because I rely on Science and studies of fish found in Crooked Creek. The 2011 Journal of the Academy of Science Vol 65 Art 16 The Fishes of Crooked Creek doesn't show White Suckers as a possible species. Terrierman 1 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.

Quillback Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Yeah I bet you are right. The phrase "Namebinikaa" means "There are many white suckers" in Ojibwe. Terrierman and Ham 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneshot Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 One is a Carp. I usually just call them Redhorse or Hog Molly. All good eating. oneshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
