      Be careful holding them at an angle like that you might break their jaw.

    A sucker in lake vermillion! I’m just as surprised as you are. Caught on a worm using a drift sock trying to catch walleye.

      I caught those in Pigeon Forge, Tn, but they were only about 6" long. Can you eat those?

      We checked for book marks but there weren’t any. There is a spot by USA island we’re it turns into a creek so maybe it came through there

      I’ll add to Craig’s comment- I was going to say it was probably someone’s Muskie bait. Stayed at a cabin resort on the lake about 23 years ago. Love the area!!!
