Hi everyone, I took my uncle out fishing on crescent lake and dead lake (florida) . As we were piddling around mid-day, my uncle said to me:what's that? I looked in the water and saw a fish swimming very slowly. It looked like a catfish from the surface. I caught the fish in my fish net. When I got it in and looked at it, I have never seen anything like it. It was about 4lbs. and looked like an ancient fish. The scales on this fish looked like a crocodile, but it had a sucker type mouth. This thing was a brutal looking fish. I did not have a camera with me, so no pics. Can anyone tell me what it was? I did not want to put it in the live well with the crappie, as it looked a little sick.
Any help or comments would be appreciated.
Thanks, Patrick
