Squirrelhunter91 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Last year I asked about an orange fish living in the reservoir behind my house. Today I went out fishing down there and saw that orange fish in the shallows. Luckily I brought the digital camera with me and took a video clip. This fish is absolutely huge!! He doesn't ever bite lures or worms or anything. He just ignores everything and every now and then jumps out of the water. It also swims around with other fish that look black/brown in the murky water. I think the other fish it stays with are either trout or big catfish, but if they were catfish they would stay on the bottom or in the deeps, right? If you can ID this fish, please tell me how to catch it. http://www.huntingfootage.com/showphoto.php?photo=2761&cat=520 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Re: Need help identifying this fish... *VIDEO* It's a color mutant of carp. We have them here in Ohio. My cousin actually caught one once out in Lake Erie. Anyone that's been to Cedar Point can tell you, there's a bunch there. We used to feed them popcorn. You might want to try that if you want to catch him joe. Canned corn works too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrea Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Re: Need help identifying this fish... *VIDEO* Definitely a large koi. You know how much money you could make with that thing if you caught it ALIVE? People that have koi ponds in their yards have to raise those things for years before they get that big!! You should ask around to see if anyone would buy it then get a cast net and catch it!!! Not sure how much you could get, but I know that around here......the ones that are about 8-12 inches long go for around $15-$25!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Re: Need help identifying this fish... *VIDEO* Dough balls will catch that critter. A lot of people use them around here for carp and basically thats what youre after. Personally I wouldnt eat it but hey... If thats your gig.
