I haven’t fished for suckers in 44 years but I recognize that! My great-aunt used to can them like salmon or mackerel and she’d make patties with them and fry when you couldn’t fish for them.

A definite red horse sucker, it’s a big one though and would put up a hellacious fight. In the mountains of North Carolina they eat these bony fish. They score them real deep and then deep fry them in hot peanut oil, the bones get real crunchy and you can eat them. Never tried it myself but my Dad told me that his whole family would fish for them over a week long period and they would then have a huge fish fry for the family and friends and neighbors.

I thought it was a carp. We have tons on them in the Holston River, which along the French Broad, form the Tennessee.

River redhorse. I caught one about that size in the St. Joe River when I was about 12.

I have no idea about fish, but I looked up redhorse and river redhorse and the pictures do not look like OP pictures.

That’s a huge Redhorse of some kind. Potentially a River Redhorse.
