    I got out fishing in southern MN last week. Action wasn’t hot, but there was enough to keep me interested. On the day, I caught mooneye, shorthead redhorse, silver redhorse, carp, and northern hogsucker.

    Floating down the Zumbro years back saw quite a few of those hogsuckers and cool to see one out the water. Nice fish.

    They don’t get very big, and they fight less than a wet sock, but I still think they’re pretty cool fish.

    Put a white tip on the tail and they could be a walleye. devil

    I was going to make a walleye dig, but I figured I’d leave well enough alone! )

    Cool looking fish! I don’t think I’ve ever caught any of those species. “…fight less than a wet sock” – I had to laugh at this! They look like they’d be more feisty than that.
