Look what I caught!
Look what I caught tonight! 2012-07-27_20-38-54_115 picture by dreamy_018 - Photobucket. I've never caught one of these before, anyone know what kind of fish it is? I'm thinking Striped Bass. I caught it using my snapper luer Little Cleo. I also caught 2 small Snapper's that I released.

I can't help you identify it, but I can tell you it ain't a striper. Is it fresh or salt water?

Could be. I don't know if this helps but it was snorting while I was taking the hook out.

It looks like a silver trout, but obviously not because they are fresh water. Do trout have a saltwater cousin?
