What kind of fish is this?

[cavemanmoron]

Looks like "Shiner" bait fish,

how about a Dollar bill, or ruler for soze comparison.

Also; if you Really need to know; call the local Game Warden.

we don't have any fishmongers on AT?

I'd say it looks like croaker.

Nope, no chin barbells. Still looks like a croaker to me.

definitely not. I know that fish quite well. Florida is the red drum capital of the world.

It'd be reddish in color and have one or more spots on the tail. The head is all wrong too.

Sorry dude, SE LA is the redfish capital of the world.

I just read this and changed my mind. The theory of fishing relativity holds, but I'll still say that I grew up in a reasonably good spot and that it won't be worth my effort to travel to LA just to fish. I'd rather go for the food.
