I need some help with this one. The other night I was fishing in the bayou and caught the most pretty fish, it looked like a redfish except the mouth was lower more under the head it something hanging from its chin kinda like a catfish almost. The color was bronze looking kinda gold, with larger brown sponts like a leopard but you could see the bronze through the spots. All of the fins were same as a redfish but what in the world could it have been mixed with?

We all love pictures....the old "thousand word" saying is often very true.

i didnt take a picture i didnt have a camera close and i didnt want it to die it was only like 11 inches

I always carry my camera its a must in my tackle box,its just a cheep digital but will gets the job done BILL Life Member Since 09-01-09
