2009 carp and other Rough fish pics

[carpmanjake]

Jake the first and third are silvers and the Middle is a tough pic to tell but it is a golden or a silver.

thanks aaron! i counted the rays on it, and its for sure a golden my first =] here is my brothers golden from that day.

i had trouble with this one though...

what is it? caught it shortly after the silver

[carpmanjake]

nice doggy bronzeback!

[StillwaterAaron]

Jake it is a silver.

The lips are one way to make a judgement if you are not sure.

White Sucker

Golden Redhorse

Silver

Here is what I call fishporn......macro pics of the lips.

thanks aaron! i never heard of the looking at the lips to identify them.

Nice dog bronzeback. They sure are a fun bonus every once in a while.

haha, yeah. although it seems like every fish I've caught this year, except for one my friend caught, has been a "bonus" fish. Can't complain too much though, we've caught some nice pike, a nice walleye, and that ugly guy up there.

[tjbassmaster]

Here are some carp from today. First two went 6#s and the third went 8#s. Also got a 7# one that I didn't get a pic of. They all were caught on corn. Where a creek enters the lake.

[MinnesnowtaWild]

That second one sure is short for how fat he is.

[StillwaterAaron]

A nice sized Qillback Carpscker.

[Ralph Wiggum]

TJ, that middlle carp has some girth. WOW!

[tjbassmaster]

That second one sure is short for how fat he is.

Yes it was. I think it had to have been a female full of eggs.

[carpmanjake]

orwell 2nd trip

8 species

walleye (caught alot of them like this, lost a few in the 2-3lb range, lindy rigs and leeches were the trick)

small mouth

this runt bit more than he could chew. LOL

i also had a monster smallie break my line, she took a lucky craft live pointer. i would guess her to be at least 4 lbs from how she looked. it was starting to get dark. but she was huge

bluegill

gold eye

drum

shorthead

channel cat

silver

seen alot of carp up shallow, but once i got out my fly rod, i couldnt find any of em.

also found a nice pike up close to the dam. i tossed a 3" gulp shiner and her, and she would go crazy for it when it hit the water. very aggressive for sure. hooked her, but her teeth cut through my line with ease (only 6lb test, UL gear)

[MinnesnowtaWild]

Man oh man you take lots of pictures...you must have a hard drive full of them eh?

[PierBridge]

Yeah I think he's related to Crappie-Keith as fsr as the pictures and number of Fish he catches...

Nice Jake!

[carpmanjake]

Man oh man you take lots of pictures...you must have a hard drive full of them eh?

orwell

silver

Jake it is always great to get a multi bag. I took my father out and he alone had 8 species including some pbs so that was great.

Lil help with your ID on this pic is a shorthead. The pointed red tail fins are one part another is the lips and also the head on the silver is larger porportion.Once you ID them for a while they are very easy most of the time. Every once in a while I refresh myself though.

Here is my dad with a small silver.

[carpmanjake]

thanks aaron. im sure i will get it sooner or later.

are you sure its a shorthead? the head seemed way to rounded to be one to me

[wildcatcreek]

Looks like a golden to me. I'm only counting 13 dorsal fins.

[StillwaterAaron]

thanks aaron. im sure i will get it sooner or later.

are you sure its a shorthead? the head seemed way to rounded to be one to me

100% sure

The mouth is way too small to be a greater or a river. For sure not a golden. I will try to find my good ID shots of the redhorse and make a single post with all the ID shots I have.

[tjbassmaster]

[tjbassmaster]

this one did not, i thought i had a log until it was at my feet. sometimes they can give a good tug, but that carp you got there will out pull most turtles
