Bob,

That's Lagochila lacera, or Moxostoma lacerum as it's now called, the harelip
sucker. Larry Page showed us one at the Illinois NANFA convention. Of course, it
was in a jar. The poor fish went extinct around 1895 -- the frst North American
fish to become extinct in modern times.

Many more have since joined it.
