MMAX Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 I can't say for sure but it looks like some sort of fish to me. Quote
dube Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 It's obviously a brown that has mutated from the insane amounts of chemicals being washed into the river from all the meth labs in the city. Quote
Avalanche Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Looks like a little pike to me. Nose is too pointed. I'll go with Whitefish as well. Maybe a Sucker? Quote
Swede Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Nose is too pointed. I'll go with Whitefish as well. Maybe a Sucker? Ya I enlarged it and realized it wasn't a pike, but by than I didn't really care. lol Quote
Wolfie Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 Ya I enlarged it and realized it wasn't a pike, but by than I didn't really care. lol well........my thoughts were exactly as this...whitefish, pike..but then the size was way to big for a whitefish [looking along the size of over 8lbs], really am sorry that the pic is so crappy making the ID hard..however..this fish, because of it's shape, weight, even the snout, lead me to believe it was a "Bull Trout"...but seeing that I've not yet actually caught one here in Alberta, I was hoping that someone might have said it.......................Wolfie Quote
Avalanche Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 I can't see any white stripes on the leading edges of the lower fins so I'm inclined to say not a Bull Trout. Hard to say with any degree of certainty though. Not a lot of fish get that big (tough to tell scale in the photo too) though. The tail looks forked which would make one lean towards a Lake Trout if it's actually of the Trout/Char families. Could also be a Burbot, I suppose, although the nose seems too pointed. The eyes look to be too far horizontal to be a trout. Go back and get a better picture... Quote
Jayhad Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 The leading edges on bull trout fins are a dead give away, that doesn't have any. Here is a crappy pic of a bull trout low quality but those fins are ultra apparent There are monster suckas in the bow, but i think cracka Quote
FunkyWaders Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I think the only thing this proved is that Wolfie is far from a Pro. If it's in or around 8lbs then I would say it is a Lake Whitefish. Quote
fish4trout Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 It's obviously a brown that has mutated from the insane amounts of chemicals being washed into the river from all the meth labs in the city. LOL! perfect. that fish dosent look 8 lbs in the pic, and looks like a whitefish Quote
Fisherwoman Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 yesterday, had nothing better to do...so...took a walk in the city..saw this...you all seem to profess to be pros, so tell me what specie is this......................................Wolfie...now this pic may not be perfect, however, you all should be able to tell....NO? That aint no whitefish. sheshh.. I would say a Bull Trout... & some wicked side affects from the meth labs... Quote
maxwell Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 that is a tough picture too get a good id any of the guesses/id's above could be it really.. a lake maybe by the forked tail but whittie or pike woul have ibn my first guess... hard too say by the rocks but i would have figured teh fish too be a 16" er ish..... but if it was a 8lber being high 20's my guess would be laker or pike or sucker..... not many fish taht size out taht way and not teh right fins for a sturgeon as a long shot! but is almost ahs sucker like lips.....

brewingup Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 where'd you see it? that might help id it.... my guess - whitey Quote
simbirsw Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I'm pretty sure it isn't the Loch Ness monster. The Loch Ness monster is over 8 stories tall. Quote
simbirsw Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I guarantee its a pike. Male or female? Quote
