Hi, around Kern hot springs I've noticed many large fish in the Kern river. First I thought they where huge trout. But they where bottom feeding, up to 2 ft large and not shy at all. They where green on top, white on the side (I think) and had white fins (for sure). Little red eyes? The closest fish in appearance I found on the web might be the Sacramento Sucker. Are those common in the Kern river? Ilja.
