Shesham! I was going to forward this picture to you Josh and see what you thought. This is downright spooky!
Drum bass aka buffolo aka sheephead
Dont mean to bash anyone, but it sounds like some of you guys need to buy a petersons fish field guide book. some of the names being thrown around for the same fish are entirely different species, some of which probably dont even live in some of the drainages mentioned. Or six different species named to describe one fish. Its kinda like saying a walleye is the same thing as a smallmouth which is the same thing as a carp which is the same thing as a darter. Not that I can positively ID this fish, but Id be tempted to say its a buffalo.
Looks like somethign i'd swiftly dispatch with a boot to the head. Thats one ugly looking fish it couldnt possibly taste good.
Thanks a lot for the feed back jknuth im pretty pumped that its a black buffalo since ive never seen one before catching that one or heard of anyone catching one
(Image removed from quote.)I caught this just at the end of summer and am not sure what it is. I know it looks like a carp but it definetly isnt my uncle wrote his PhD on carp and worked at delta marsh with carp for years so i think he knows what he's talking about . He's trying to figure out if it is a bigmouth buffalo fish or a smallmouth buffalo fish. I am just wondering if anyone would have a clue which on it is? Ps look at the mouth it is to high for it to be a carp its not on the bottom and also it has a very black eye
LOL - Buffalo. oh if if you need to know how to cook it then: place buffalo on cedar plank, cook in oven at 400f, scrape buffalo off of plank, & eat plank.
if thats a sheephead then what is this fish i caught from oneida lake someone told me it was a sheephead(Image removed from quote.)
