Can someone help me identify this fish please??

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

OK,now that you have identified it how did it taste?

You are corageous if you eat a strange fish that you are not sure what it was.

I would have to agree that is definality a freshwater drum. Catch them all the time in the BoQ. Great fighting fish but that is about all they are good for.
