We hit quite a few small shakers, but this fish totally made the trip for me.
Notta_steeler... you'll appreciate this one
My float dropped quick on the hit. I set the hook into what I assumed to be a huge log hugging the bottom of the river. This log soon started to move and I finally realize there is actually a fish on the other end of my line.
The fight starts when the fish surfaces and realizes it's hooked. Was quite the battle. At first, I thought I had hooked into a carp, but was pleasantly surprised to see it was a beauty redhorse.
It blew my mind how big it was. Being used to the smaller size of the white sucker, this one just seemed gigantic.

What a beautiful fish!
BIG ...BIG unexpected beasty ... which makes it evern more memorable.
Gotta absolutely love the possibilities that ontario waters offer.
An "indicator fish" like the Red Horse Suckers .... shows the waters are doing well.
I'd say that one is a RECORD!
I thought it was a Carp for sure.
Nice post and great pic of a BEAUTY of a FISH!
Hope you nail many more of them.

Worms didn't produce anything today.
This fish sucked in a jumbo chartreuse roe bag.

Also thought it was a carp on first glance.
