Large Greater Redhorse. Thanks to DEADhead for the ID confirmation. Be sure to check out the major dump it's taking on the first picture.

And here's a smaller one.

[roughfish29]

good lord that is a massive greater! congrats!

the last fish actually looks like a large shorthead redhorse

[pikestabber]

That's funny, br00tal... I have pic of a big shorthead from two years back letting off a similar "load." That must have quite a fight you had there...great fish.

[br00tal]

Yeah, I think it is a shorthead.

[DEADhead]

Those are some tanker Greaters; unreal! that is a nice shortie Jesse, real chunky.

are northern hog suckers supposed to be rare in minnesota? it seems everybody is excited when catching them... i thought they were pretty common

[itchmesir]

[JimBuck]

I don't know how rare they are, but I think we're on the Northern edge of their distribution.

Jake, I think I almost see a smile! haha! nice catch; what fly did you take it on?

[roughfish29]

some serious shoulders on that bruiser. nice fish

i've got some spots narrowed down that should produce some bigguns' in the next month or so.

and i think i found a good bowfin spot.

i'd be fishing right now if i wasn't so **** sick 'tis the season as they say......

Jake, I think I almost see a smile! haha! nice catch; what fly did you take it on?

lol, I was with the gf. So ya... Lmao

and it was one of my own designs, which was inspired by one of your flies. I forgot what it was called. I think it was called the scorpion.

[DEADhead]

oh yeah the scorpion is a deadly carp fly. cool.

[nsnutter]

Someone say carp?

I have been busy Nothing better after work then hookin into a few goldies on an ultralight!

[roughfish29]

man, nice fish and nice spot! looks like a good time

[HossFisher]

oh hey, I know that spot! lol

[nsnutter]

Haha it's a fairly popular spot that just happens to fall right on my way home from work. Nothing better than some fatty carp on an ultralight ugly with 4# test! Love it!

[roughfish29]

here is a mugshot of a giant golden redhorse

[KTapper]

Carp from the Blue Earth river.

[no bait nate]

sweet fish guys, i'd like to get into some of those soon

[nsnutter]

Pretty simple really haha, find a lake or stream or pond or creek or river, drop a hook/jighead tipped with corn or crawlers on the bottom, and wait. They're all over that place amigo, even Lonsdale haha
