Monster Mystery Fish!
I was fishing the "Little Rouge Creek" today and witnessed an unforgettable fish. Sadly I was unable to catch it.

Appearance:

Length - 1.5 feet
Girth - Unknown
Weight - 3-5 lbs
Body - Looked exactly like a Creek Chub, same body shape, and same black lateral stripe.
Face - White with a pinkish tone. Commonly found on larger Creek Chubs (http://i.imgur.com/EssNL.jpg) <---- Notice the pink on the lower mouth.

Location:

Water body: Little Rouge Creek
Environment: Deep pool about 4ft in the middle. Flat sand floor. No vegetation or structure.
Other Fish In The Area: Some type of Sucker species, Shiners, Creek Chub.

Activity:

Got spooked very easily, didn't want to eat anything. When spooked it would swim in an oval shape. Like this. Ignore the dots.

When neutral it would just sit about 1 inch from the ground and stay still.
When swimming the other smaller fish would get scared of the larger fish and make way for it to swim by.
I presented a full earthworm and half of another onto the hook and drop it right in front of its face and it wouldn't budge.

I was thinking it was just an exceptionally ;large Creek Chub but I don't think they could possibly get that big. Any Ideas?

Any info would help.

Thanks,
