Forget the Asian Carp threat, those Ohio Steelhead poise a serious risk to fisherman!  
Enjoy!

Here's a cousin to the flying carp I took the next day and decent Channel Kitty that had me fooled until I saw him. Can you say bathwater? The flychuckin' liners were in full force, but we did manage a hand full of pooled up steel everyday. Wish it didn't get so warm, I got a bit of a sunburn on sunday...

Gomer - What till you see them in person - STYLIN' is an unerstatement. They do fit quite nice and survived a run it with a thorn patch, so far so good.
MP - It's a Milner and no you can't touch it

Trev,
Careful what you call a "peice of trash"! That is NOT a common carp...it's a golden redhorse sucker and believe it or not they are a sign of good water quality (in addition to being a native species) unlike white suckers or common carp which can tolerate pollution impacted waters. I sincerely hope you didn't bonk it and throw it on the bank!
Mike

I figured since he was so big he should go back as he fought well twice for me last weekend as well as for a young little guy on a 5' UL and a Fly guy that was fishing the right way this weekend (yep same fish I'm pretty sure all 4 times ).
I'm not sure how long he'll last in there though if he keeps gobbling up offerings that easily though

Oh, you'd be surprised...the individuals within a pod of lake-run suckers can look pretty similar to one another and can be pretty thick in a hole. Now for the only way to really tell: did they all kiss the same w/those big ole' rubber lips?!?

I would have never thought that they got that big or there could be that many of them! I did notice they sure do like to trail steelies on gravel and inhale the eggs I suppose that's how they get that big though!
The sucker that threw me a curve ball was the one with dark stripes, couldn't figure out what it was until I slid him on the bank, was going to take a picture of him as I gave him a "hood ornament" when he missed the bag and I snagged him right on top of the snoot . Shook the hook before I could get my camera out.

A white sucker in spawning colors has stripes. Take a look a few pics down at the end of my recent fishing report (at the following link) to see a fella' named Richard holding a striped white sucker caught last week: http://www.clemetparks.com/recreation/fishing/fishingreport.asp
Does that look like the mysterious sucker in question?
