MSA what's this one called?

[5575]

Have only caught a handful of these, caught this one on the Missouri today.
Carp family right? I've caught similar ones on sak only with red in the fins and tail and a taller dorsal fin.

 

[Captain Ahab]

River Carpsucker. Caught a few on the Red. The quillback carpsucker looks similar, but with a way longer peak on the dorsal.

 

[5575]

Bingo, thanks Captain.

 

[MSA]

Different family than carp, but yeah ahabs right. Kinda hard lil buggers to catch, ive only caught 2.

 

[5575]

Thanks!
Yea them and the quillback are rare for me as well. He hit a jig and a swimbait of all things vertical jigging.

 

[MSA]

Theres one more specie, the high fin carpsucker, which i dont think i could distinguish one from a quillback.

While I was bow fishing a clearer water bay here a couple years back, I saw a school of around 40 of those.

Caught one casting from shore, in current, a couple years ago. Feisty buggers, they are.
