I don’t recall any spots or black stripes on their tails, but I will just about swear I’ve caught the red horse sucker many times on the perdido river. The fish I’ve caught have a silver body a red tail with a sucker mouth, no other colors, I’m pretty sure I know of a nursery area for this fish, now I have to check.

Is this a game fish, or good eating or what?

Perdido River is full of river red horse suckers I see them all the time so I don’t recall ever seeing spots so this baffles me they say that one species only lives in Escambia river. but they said the same thing about flatheads at one time as well.

This really is a great story. I wonder if the FWC would mind another article on the tracking of the fish.
I would love to know where it travels to.

@ Rodney

ABSOLUTELY Agree, NorthEscambia.com is what True Journalism is all about.
Plus there is Real Heart in the stories, even the tough ones.

“the Other Media” of all varieties throws out the bone but never tells us who let the dogs out to fetch it or if it was fetched at all.

Thank You to William and you are the Best.

These types of articles are what seperates northescambia.com from other media sources. Facts supported by research and interviewing professionals. No biased journalism based on advertisers or contributors is what is missing from news sources. Thank you to all who spent time on this very informative article.

As a kid we caught this fish in the Big Creek in the Wallace community in Alabama.Which this same creek feeds into Big Escambia creek which feeds into Escambia River.
