Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Newbie, Help ID species

think it might be a different strain of the chub family, and never caught one over twelve inches out there, but missouri definitely has suckers/chubs/fallfish. 

i don't necessarily mind them except the big ones that get my hopes up for a trophy trout. caught one a few years ago pushing 20" on a midsize trout stream in central VA. still remember the feeling of when i realized it wasn't a trout. solid fight at least.

I kinda like fallfish.  We didn't have those in MO, so I was confused when I hooked one on the SF several weeks ago.  Actually, I caught one that was larger than any of the SMB I ended up catching....and one of the 3-4 I caught was a "croaker".  Like the catfish.

Why yes, come to think of it, it did make some funny sucking noises while I was trying to free it. Just as your link described.

I was afraid I was going to kill it, as it was making some what I assume to be gasping sounds.

Fallfish. Did it make any noise? Loud little critters.
