WHAT IS THIS

[hooperj14]

Ok I caught this on the Loxahatchee River in Florida. I have no idea what it is and it is pretty mean looking. I asked the people at the canoe rental and they had never seen one. Any ideas?

Was it caught in the estuary or the freshwater section?

Looks like a type of cat/hybrid carp

It was freshwater.

Apparently yet another "foreign" fish that was probably released from a home aquarium now competing with native fi

It is cool looking though!
