Is this a common carp?

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)

You are kidding right? Well this is NOT a carp but a species of chubsucker.

Hey, I just found out that it is a lake chubsucker and it is actually endangered in Michigan so I found that to be very interesting. I released it right after I caught it sohe is back in the wild.

Thats cool, dont see many of those. If it wasnt for the lack of wiskers and the fin pattern one would think a carp for sure.

 

[evan grass]

yeah, thats for sure.
