Sounds like a very productive day. Are you sure the chub wasn't a carp?

My first fish from the Rock was a carp back in the eighties . I didn't fish it forever since . But took up a liken for perch . Did hook a sucker I bet went close to 30" . I was so disappointed . Thought I had me a monster brown . LOL I let him keep the jig in his mouth .

The largest chub I've ever seen is 15 inches but I have caught suckers over 5 lbs. What color was this fish? The good thing about chubs or suckers, they are great bait for lake trout. If you catch any more let me know, I'd be glad to take them off you hands. WH2
