i thought it was an eel , but it turned out to be a sea lamprey .
call me stupid , but i didn't know we had a freshwater lamprey native to michigan waters .
the michigan lamprey is brown in color and it's dorsal fin runs all the way to it's tail . it is not a harmful species of fish . the adapted sea lamprey is dark green in color and it's dorsal fin is seperate from it's tail fin .
the lamprey will not feed off a mammal , they don't like the taste of our blood .
________________________________________________________________________
we also have a minnow that looks like it's part chub , part perch , and part walleye . (chub head and size , walleye body style , perch markings )
_________________________________________________________________________
chub's can grow up to be as large as a full grown sucker 4 to 5 pounds !

ever seen a sculpin ? it looks like a saltwater fish , native to our waters .
