I went with:

Ling

Catfish

Carp

[hanson1287]

I think I am going to have be the oddball here and say that I don't think any fish is ugly.

[bigbucks]

One word: pout

[rundrave]

this isnt a fish, and doesnt have to deal with ice fishing at all, but I have caught them fishing:

snapping turtles, I have only caught a couple, all by accident.

always a good fight, but once you get a look at it, just to see how big it actually is, he always gets to keep my lure, and I just cut my line.

Did I mention how ugly they are.

1. Bullhead

2. Carp

3.Dogfish

I'm with hanson. Even if a fish isn't colorful or have pretty markings, there all kind of cool. The stergeon is a perfect example. It looks like something that would have been swimming with dinosaurs and probably were. But they have a face only a mother could love, (or a goofy fisherman.)

[ironman]

Flathead

mirror carp(kinda like the normal ones)

pout(again..depending on the markings, sometimes they look cool.)

[WigglinMyWorm]

1. sturgeon

2. sturgeon

3. STURGEON!!!!!!!

[CrappieJohn]

EEL...No markings, no scales, way too many teeth, way too much slime. Any fish that bites and likes to give limbs body-hugs is right at the top of my list.

[eyepatrol]

Pout

Dogfish

Paddlefish

Hate'em all!

[FOOT]

1) Eels

2) Eelpot

3) Dogfish

4) Carp - sucker - sturgeon

[njsimonson]

Yeah, the dogfish is one I left out of the top five in this week's article, I guess they should get an honorable mention. Heh, I remember in college I used to go to the school's recreation lake and catch them. Mean mothers. I saw a kid land a 30" bowfin two years ago in Detroit Lakes. That was a mean looking animal.

I'm not saying these fish aren't "cool" I'm just saying that they're ugly.

[hanson]

1) Largemouth Bass

2) Walleye

3) Crappie

Don't be a hater!

[Luck e 1]

Brook Trout

Steelhead

Smallmouth bass

I also think that Walleyes are ugly.

[Luck e 1]

Kidding.

[V-12 Merlin]

Dogfish, most definitely.

Sorry, Hanson.....

[marine_man]

• Gar / Northern Gar (mostly because they give me the willies)
• Eelpout, depending on where... LOW pout are kind of nasty looking, but the ones on the red river in canada are really light colored and not nearly as bad
• Carp

Eels no contest they are first second and third. I just glad there aren't to many of them here. Lampreys are pretty disgusting.

These are my five ugliest fish. The first one isn't really a fish, more like lizard fish but they live in the water and bites my bait so I consider it a fish and they are really ugly.
