Looks somewhat like a light hitch color lure but definetly not a hitch! Not another invasive species I hope, at least its not a snakehead.Looks more like some kind of sucker, squawfish species, or a Chub?
the best way to catch a big one is don't lose um sharp hooks set drag retie!

That is a Sacramento sucker. Spawning adults develop that dark stripe on the side, peak spawning for this species occurs in March and April. Very common species.

Why? It is a native fish, one of the few. I can 't stand that attitude.
