Wow. Still speechless with this mystical beast. I don't know how much the fishy gods were grinning today, but they smiled on me. Sightfished her picking around in rocks with a bread ball. She didn't even hesitate to slurp it in, which startled me a bit. Didn't fight all that hard, but the real fight began when she was netted. Went crazy the moment we got our hands on her. Thankfully she calmed for a picture and was quickly placed back in the water. Swam off strong.

Thanks man!
Thank you! This one came as a huge surprise because grassies aren't typically active in the fall. You guys gotta make some trip down here to catch em next spring. Might not be a MN species, but they're big and fun and definitely a roughfish. Giant carpsuckers are what I call em.
