I really appreciate you know different species and don't just call them carp. A lot of great native species

Awesome fishing, lots of fish you caught are on my bucket list. Looking forward to getting out to Wisconsin soon enough. I'll keep you posted.

I’ve had some good luck lately!

Wow you got to fish on one of those rafts! Lucky! What a fun way to fish, just sit on the raft and watch the poles! The real fun comes at night when the fish are on their way down after spawning! Cane poles with a wolf river rig with the leader line being a Rapala is how they catch them on the way down.

Yeah. Tom was talking about that. They move the raft to deeper water and do that.

For legal purposes we are sucker fishing 😅. Just kidding but that one Sturgeon was HUGE! My pb was 24 inches so what a beast you caught! Looks like a great place to fish

I had to make it clear that we weren't targeting them! I don't want to get in trouble when I wasn't trying to cause trouble, you know!

Man that looked fun! I Battled a sturgeon longer than me an hour on ultra light during the white bass run It’s like hooking into a log.......that pulls back

No kidding. They are so strong!

Wow I never knew that river held so many different species of suckers! The only two I'm familiar with is the white sucker and the red sucker. I think it's the white sucker that's most common on the Great Lakes and I used to catch (also net) them when they were on their spawning run in the rivers off the Bay of Green Bay, and a couple of times when I was young I remember my dad smoking them.

White suckers are everywhere!

Looks like you guys had a great time! Is this like a rental type place or friends? It would be cool to find a little bunkhouse like that to rent for a weekend and fish with my sons

I’m not sure if you can rent one of these. I was with friends. It would be a great weekend fishing experience.

Good stuff T! I like how you handle the fish with care. Those may have been golden redhorse instead of silvers? Silvers have a convex edge to their dorsal fin?

I had the people at Roughfish.com look at some of the pictures and they were saying the silver redhorse get more golden in color as they get older. I might have caught a golden with one of thme, though. We caught so many suckers, I bet one was golden. I'm not great at identifying them yet.

@@tiefsa Try counting the dorsal fin rays........if you come up with 20 or more then likely a silver. If less than 20 then they could be goldens?

How do you id the suckers. I recently got some and am trying to id them
