What Fish is This? - reowner - 05-31-2013 My brother Eddie, caught this huge fish, we have no idea what type of fish it is! All we know, is that it could be some type of cross-breed. Does anyone know what kind of fish this is? He caught this out on Great Chazy River in Coopersville, New York.

[signature] Re: [harlin] What Fish is This? - albinotrout - 05-31-2013 I was going to say some sort of chub. [signature] Re: [harlin] What Fish is This? - wiperhunter2 - 05-31-2013 I've never heard of a Tench, what family of fish does that belong in? [signature] Re: [wiperhunter2] What Fish is This? - RockyRaab - 05-31-2013 Just google it. Just what we need: ANOTHER damn carplike trash fish. [signature] Re: [wiperhunter2] What Fish is This? - harlin - 05-31-2013 Cyprinidae. I guess it's the same family as Carp, and true Minnows. Doesn't surprise me, it definitely has the mouth like a carp, but who knows. I think Chubs are in the same family, at least according to the classification.
