Caught a bunch is sunnies, a couple of SM and this guy - silver sides, large scales , fought like a trout of about the same size - 11” or so. Hit a copper John bead head. Any idea what it is?

Is that one of those snake heads? Picture's a little fuzzy. Looks like one of our squawfish sorta, but you won't find any of those in Florida.

Definitely not a snake head. Scales are same size as a carp’s but not a carp’s mouth.

I will repeat a quote I've used attributable to Mark Twain..."I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn't know

It's a mystery to me, but I can't see it very well.

A poor quality, and in a poor position to determine this fish's species. Just Sayin...RJS

If you caught that in fresh water I am pretty sure it's a mud fish. Not sure that is the proper name but that is what they are called in Florida.

are legal to shoot as a trash fish.
