knightfisher Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 The Buffalo fish as most know, belong to the sucker family and are a native North American species. Common telling sign is ' no ' whiskers, whereas carp have them. Now the question is, is this a big or small mouth Buffalo sucker. Any help distinguishing between the two would be appreciated Weighed in at 19 lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steellee Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Is the black eyes a telling sign? The shape of those 2 had me looking twice at this one from spring time. No whiskers I can see, but typical carp eyes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
