[pct-l] Fish ID

They are suckers. Unknown if they are the famous Sacramento sucker.

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.
