Anyone ever seen this type of fish??

[Hardwater Problem]

Having seen the White Sucker run in Cooksville Creek beside my house in Mississauga Ontario every spring for years and years. That is NO White Sucker. Firstly it's way to big. I've caught Freshwater Drum on The Bay Of Quinte Ont and that's not it.

Ok so I got out my trusty old McClane's Standard Fishing Encyclopedia and International Angling Guide. It really looks like a Bigmouth Buffalo to me. It's the largest member of the sucker family and the most important from an economic standpoint. It is seldum caught by sport fisherman. So your very lucky I think.
Found mainly in the plains states. It ranges from North Dakota and soutern Saskatckewan east to Ohio and Pennsylvania and south to the gulf. Large rivers and shallow lakes provide perfect habitat.
If it's not that then it's the Smallmouth Buffalo.

As in everything else not every fish can be pretty.  " SOME JUST HAVE GREAT PERSONALITES"

Try it in a chowder.

LOL - Buffalo.  oh if if you need to know how to cook it then: place buffalo on cedar plank, cook in oven at 400f, scrape buffalo off of plank, & eat plank.

LOL
