What kind of Fish is this?!

[C Sollers]

I've caught them in the Patapsaco and Deer Creek. I knew them by the name "horned pout".

Definitly a type of chub, cant tell but it looks like a river or a horny chub. Intresting place for them to be swimming around...

I'm not a biologist, but have caught many of the pictured fish, whatever it's actual name may be. I've always called them Horny Head chubs, and have caught them in various streams around the state, particularly when I was younger and have also eaten them. Bony, but tasty. Agree that they're fun to catch on flies, and more so on a 3 or 4 wt. The largest I've ever caught was about 12-13" but I have seen some in a few places that looked to be bigger.

I didn't know they got that big we caught them in creeks in SC , the biggest I have ever seen was about 1/2 lb. that looks like a monster. What did it weigh?
