    Details: River Chub

Looks like their liking this tree that got swept upstream & ended ...more up caught in between a monster rock slab. Air temp was 57°F can't wait for summer time because where we caught the pair of Chubs was a good spot for sunfish and it might very became an even better one with that tree.

I've fished the Creek for years and seen a vast variety of fish so I'm almost certain it's a Northern Hog Sucker but I might be wrong. Just checking to see if it isn't a new species. Felt this guy attack but no fight came lol
