Fish Identification

[3waytie4last]

I went fishing in lower Big Gunpowder Falls this weekend in MD. I caught a couple of these little guys with corn and one with a worm. I'm not completely sure what kind of species this is. Can anyone help me out?

looks to be in the sucker family

I would think so, but its head looked more like a trout head, and not so much of a "sucker."

Fallfish... Tons of them in that area and all the creeks around there...

Fall fish.......dynamite flathead catfish bait

Fallfish, eh?

So I doubt they're edible.

Right?

[bigfish4me]

I have no idea if they are edible or not......the catfish seem to like them though

We call them creek chubs around here. Full of bones and mud.

fallfish we call them chubb in maine there considered "trashfish" i used to catch some decent ones smallmouth fishing on the piscataquis river next to my house . if you ask me i wouldnt eat em.... good for bait though

ps if your trout fishing and you catch these move upstream the water is too warm and they chase brookies away.
