Last Fishing Trip Of The Season In The Adirondacks (can you identify this fish?)

[fullThrottle]

Went for my last fishing trip in the Adirondacks. Hooked onto a fish that I have no clue what it is! Also landed my last laker for the season!

[perch chacer]

The scale pattern and fins look like a carp.

[filetandrelease]

 fall fish also called a chub once I heard an ol trout fishermen call them rubber nose trout

[pikemanEd]

150% fallfish

[SchrnLker]

Yup, Fallfish.  Great fighters on a fly rod.  Schroon River above the Lake is full with them.

I caght a fallfish long time ago in 7th lake.i had no idea what it was,there was a guy fishing on the other side of the road and asked him if he knew what it was and he told me it was a fallfish,i said o.k. and through it back,didnt give it any thought about the size,as I never had even heard of a fall fish..but it was around 3lbs or so.a few months later I just happen to come across an article about nys fish records and saw fall fish was only 1.5 lbs,now its up to 3lbs,oh well

150% fallfish

150?   

[trapper2000]

that's a creek chub or  called  fall fish   .....you catch them alot in trout streams (they taste better then lakers) 

[Laker Taker1]

It's a fallfish. But it's not the same thing as a creek chub. They are in the same genus but different species.

[trapper2000]

[fullThrottle]

Nice., was a pretty cool looking fish

[pikemanEd]

150?   

Maybe 151% Jon 

Lakertaker is right creek chubs have much smaller scales and more purple coloring and don't get as big as fallfish

[hunts2long]

Pike bait...h2l

[trapper2000]

I was just telling  Freddie back in the day we would go to the creek catch a bunch of them  toss in a bait bucket then head to sage creek with a  big bobber and English hook for northerns .....or squeeze em till their eyes got big toss them on the bank and  feed the raccoons

[lowaccord66]

I fish them with a slide float for northers before ice up.  Good time for sure!

[hunt4perch]

That is the last of the panfish left in Lock 7.

[choo choo]

Lot's of those fallfish on the Delaware....up to about 18 or 19 inches. We just call them chubs or stooges. They take flies readily, and sure do mess up the hackles with their soft slimy mouths. They fight good for about 5 seconds, then come in like a wet boot. The trout, walleye and bass love to feed on the young ones.
 Not sure if they are native to the Adirondack ponds...maybe some of you northern guys would know.

[filetandrelease]

Way back when people use to pickle them according to my gramps ,

[SSmokinn SS]

Fall fish... have caught them up to almost 2lbs before. Those dang things hit anything.

[fullThrottle]

That thing hit like a mean trout , marked it a few feet off the bottom took the bait up to it and it slammed it

They are pretty aggressive. I have caught them on blade baits, spinnerbaits, suspending jerkbaits, flipping jigs, squarebill crankbaits and deep crankbaits.

Unless you are trying to collect them for bait!  Then they get shy!

I would imagine those things make fantastic BIG pike bait.
