Does any one know what kind of fish this this?

someone more in the know would have to confirm but that looks like a freshwater drum to me

Looks like a type of shiner to me.... probably Golden except I don't see the red fins that typically characterize the fish.

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~

That looks like a drum only smaller . . .

Interesting first post btw

Drum, or also known as a sheephead.

Pretty sure it's freshwater drum.. they hit aggressive and fight strong. You think you got a real good bass and then those lips surface lol.

But they are fun!

I also think it is a drum. For sure NOT a golden shiner !

Yup, freshwater drum a.k.a. "sheepshead" a.k.a. "goat" a.k.a. "dork fish"...

Drum.  They get big.

My arch nemesis, the freshwater drum. They're fun as long as you know what it is right away. If you're fighting them and they don't have the courtesy to roll so you know it's a drum, they can really get your hopes up.
