Thank you. ANy fish ID websites? 8) Quote
Lunkers0 Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 It's hard to tell by the description of the fish. I would try looking on a state website. Minnesota's is the Department of Natural Resources. They usually have pictures of the fish that can help you out. Quote
L.D. Posted March 6, 2005 Posted March 6, 2005 Well if you were fishing in Pa. I'd say you got a white sucker. We get many of them on jigs, especially in the cool water months. but without a photo, we're just guessing Quote
Nick_Barr Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 That is a big perch, could be. It might be a creek chub. i caught one once in my local lake Quote

But the round mouth sounds more like a sucker than a perch. You might try a search for the fishes of your state and maybe something will look familiar. Quote
