As I was reading this post I got to thinking about the fish that I caught out of the S/Fork of the Stilly. It sounds like what you said. Huge lips on the bottom. It felt like I caught a log. It was about 5lbs,greyish brown. I thought it was a sucker but I wasn't sure. It didn't have any scales,just smooth skin.
