My buddy sent me this pic today. He caught this on the east coast, and my first guess was a Creek Chub with an infection of some sorts. Anyone know what's going on here?

His fish...

Definitely a hybrid of gaspergoo and sac a lait, with a little of gator gar and speckled trout mixed in.

I have caught dozens of those in Virginia. Doesn't look to be unusal.

We called them horny head chubs.

It is a variety of Sucker fish, I don't know the exact species but I caught plenty of them fly fishing in northern Arkansas.

Agree with Trap. I have caught them fly fishing streams in New Hampshire and Virginia. Guides identified them as suckers.


Some people go to church and think about fishing. Some go fishing and think about God.

I'm guessing it's a male river chub. I don't think the male creek chubs get the swollen heads like the male river chubs do during mating season.
