went on a fishing trip for salmon, drove up to a few spots in wisconsin and had no luck (shore fishing), everything was dead, we missed every spot by 7-10ish days. oh well there’s always next time. besides the fish i wanted to at least bring back a nice picture of fresh caught salmon.

Looks to me like a coloured up creek/river chub. Were you fishing for trout when you caught it? If so, chances are it’s a chub.
Also could be a fallfish, but the mouth, head & cheeks scream chub.

I haven’t fished in years, but I do hunt bearded clam like a champ.

I like to fish at the ocean or beaches. I remember a friend getting a decent size fish about 6 lbs from the shoreline.

They run up to about 4-5 lbs in the lake here, I ddunno if chub get that big and their scales are larger than chub. They get bigger and lose the cylinder shape, look like a shad with a deep belly when they are bigger. But yeah the head and mouth look very similar. probably related.

Sure did bud. It’s comical how much work I’ll put in trying to catch em on the fly and literally all I had to do was pull off the side of the road and spear a plastic worm on a hook and it’s game on.

Ponds are my go to for fishing mostly. I know there’s bigger fish in saltwater here but I just like the top water blowups in ponds and stiller waters.
