strange fish

Post by JFN1948 » Thu Aug 15, 2013 2:29 pm

While fishing for perch in lake Washington my buddy caught a brown fish with red spots, at first it looked like a catfish but had no whiskers and had a mouth like a carp, the skin was smooth, no scales, had a broad square tail. Did not get a picture. Does anyone know what kind of fish this is.

Yes that is the fish, they are beautiful. Put up a great fight on the perch gear.
