strange evening with the water so cold ,I started fishing about 5 and was catching some bullheads then I started getting these crazy looking fish! I had a heck of a time figuring it out ,I even called Freddie for help .... then I realized I was catching hybrid fish!!! that's right I got a bunch of them ... this explains why they would bite in this cold water!
here is a picture of a brown bullhead
this is a picture of a forked tail spotted lake trout
now here is proof with pictures of the hybrids I caught
notice the grey color the spots the forked tail and remember the water temps ...a hybrid for sure
I must have gotten right into a big school of these strange fish ...... well don't ask where I got them because I won't tell you easy to see these fish need to be protected !!!! I am the first person to ever report a brown bullhead lake trout hybrid but pictures don't lie
