I caught this in Michigan and my first thought was a common carp but then I reliezed that it didnt have his little feelers by the mouth like a common carp. Click the link and tell me what kind of fish it is.
Thanks, Evan

I just looked up a golden shiner online and I dont think that was it but it was very similar.

sorry to tell you but that is a common carp ... I have caught ones with the same mouth and they were about 5 inches. just look at the mouth to tell where they eat from... only suckers or carp have that kind of mouth. the suckers are of course alot more obvious. If the mouth is turned downward.... you have a type of carp or bottom feeder (sucker)

See if Michigan has a webpage on its natives.....it looks like a type of Sucker to me, but I would look to the experts on Nanfa's webpage in that dosent work.

crrek chubsucker is problible right...not a baby carp...all have the 'wiskers' not only the big ones...their scales are larger and overlaping were as with this fish in question...it has a 'dimond' pattern and the scales aren't overlaping in the same pattern as a carp and it has no barbles...100% not a carp...
