Wow I just looked up the spotted Bass and it does look very similar. Outside of the whole saltwater thing...
One of my buddies said Carp, but I don't think so. Here is why I think it is a freshwater drum: The long rear dorsal fin, with the spiny front dorsal. People say we have "Sheepshead" around here, which after some research is interchangeable with a freshwater Drum. However, the Sheepshead have an obnoxiously large head, this fish doesn't. So thats why I've been calling it a FW Drum.
Thoughts?
