Carp and other Rough fish pics

I don't see any reddish color on the fins, but the size would say Greater Redhorse.

From the coloring alone, I would go with White Sucker and pretty big ones ta boot.

Roughfish with a daught and a com has some good ID's for you

Those are all White Suckers, really nice ones too.

Heres my first fish of 2010...

Caught yesterday out of the Cannon River, along with one other Common. Fishing was pretty slow, but its gonna come around quick if we dont get much for rain.

Jake, what are you using to catch them? I have tried almost everything and have only been able to catch one

i have been using left over waxies and eurolarvea from ice fishing.

if you are using corn, thats why. during the winter, corn is hard for carp to digest

LOTW, definately some nice size white suckers! saw one like that out fishing the other day. but never caught it

oh boy... today was incredible! more action than ever before! exactly one year from the hottest day of fishing, at the same spot, last year!

i was joined by two youngsters who wanted to fsih for bass. but after i told them that bass season was closed, i hooked into a little 5lb carp. of course, like any kids, they wanted to catch one two!

eventually, one turned into two, which turned into three. all they were saying is "this is fun!"

it wasnt long before we got our first double.

after a few more fish, i went home, grabbed a sandwich, and a camera. and went back out.

they couldnt resist the little earth worms i dug up! unfortunately, neither could a couple pike, and a walleye. but for some reason, the carp resisted taking it. quite odd if i say so myself....

Elwood-

Nice to see the Greaters are there in good enough numbers for you to get 2 of them! That white is good sized. With a bonus silver.

I brought my 6 month old out and he took the pole from me.

Acctually we got five of them and about 15-20 of the white and silvers
