I'm not even sure what it is. it was over 10" for sure, maybe 12-13". first thing I thought was it looked just like a scat that I had in my aquarium. also resembles some type of spade fish. im just going to have to wait until KenT ID's it.

Huh, It has a body shape of a spadefish, but if we don't know for sure, I'll see what I could find out.  Very cool catch Chris.

Looks like a Green Scat to me. Was this near an estuary? At that size it could be full marine so it doesn't matter I suppose.

most of the spots we fish are pretty hairy and your bound to get wet so I never bring a camera with me. My father in-law bought me a cool waterproof camera a while back and I finally bought a new charger for it after losing it on a plane trip. I'm going to try to take a lot more pictures now.

it was in a marina next to a river mouth. there were several I could see, this one was the only one that A) either attacked it and got hooked in the head or B) my lure bumped into and snagged in the head.  ;D
