Black Redhorse (Moxostoma duquesnei)Observer
kevin_adeliDescription
Identifying features: Grey caudal fin and concave dorsal fin with 13 rays narrows it down to black or golden redhorse. Went with black because of lip shape and counted 47 scales along lateral line which is too many for a golden.

Saw this individual last year, but this time I was actually in the water with it. Quite an experience. It looks like its mouth wound has healed decently.
