if you look closely at the corner of the mouth you can see a whisker which made me think that it was from the carp family but i wasnt sure. i heard that they had some grass carp out here but this is not the grass carp that i am familiar with. they said that they caught it while fishing for catfish and that it was eating the small catfish that was attracted by the wonderful fish bait known as "Cheetos" then again it could all be rumor. this picture popped up in my mailbox because i am an avid fisherman and just bought an ultralight rod for the bass that i have seen jumping around...now i think i might have to upgrade. let me know what you guys think. thanks!
