<p>It was a cold and rainy day on the Root River. Andy and I ventured out to connect with our first suckers of the season. None were spawning, although one shorthead had tubercules and some white suckers were squirting milt. We caught a lot of shorthead redhorse, including some sizeable ones, white suckers, northern hog suckers, and beefy smallmouth bass.</p>

<p>Oh, and one black redhorse. </p>

Great job on the photo! Thanks! You took fifteen shots and they all sucked except for this one/ My camera is all fubarred.
Congrats on the achievement
And a beautiful photo, indeed!
So now you have all the MN Redhorse to your name, and deservedly so.
That's a pretty exclusive club, I do believe....
That spot looks familiar...
Many congrabyoulations.
Fishn sure is neat

I was fishing that very spot religiously every weekend last year starting on April 9th and didn't get my Black Redhorse until May 16th. It just goes to show how early this spring is this year.
Congrats sir, not only is it a lifer but the last remaining Minnesota Moxostoma species you hadnt captured. Welcome to The Order Of The Minnesota Moxostoma Mad Men.
Congratulations!
Suitable for framing indeed! Great work, SWEET fish. I was down in that country on Saturday and can attest that you really earned that prize with the conditions that morning.
Congrats Corey!
Amazing coloration on that black redhorse! The fins are gorgeous, and it looks like it's wearing lip gloss! (@-@) You shoulda kissed it Corey - right on the fishlips! ;)

It was beautiful, Heidi. After trying for them for 15 years, cataloguing every sighting, and trudging through a hundred cow pastures in fruitless searches, I did want to kiss it when it came to hand. Now, to catch a new species of redhorse, I have to travel far away. It's the end of part of my life.
Wow! What a catch!
I've seen a lot of photos of black redhorse (well, there aren't really a lot out there, so it's relative) and that's the best one I've seen by far.
Wow.

The more pictures I see of them, the less I have to depend on their scale count. They are beautiful and have the sexiest cobalt/steel look to them. Good job man, and all 6 species to boot. I'm still lingering on waiting for my 1 River Red to hit and I'll be there too. "Moose's Mad Men Mox Club" Fo' Sho".
Awesome man, a fine fish indeed.
