I was fishing off the jetties in Galveston using shrimp. Caught a couple dozen piggy perch, croaker, whiting, and then I caught a fish I havnt seen before. I caught 3 of them, they were about 6-8 inches long, they have a mouth on the front and it was silver all around the lips.

No pics???

Hmmm, a mouth on the front??? Sounds fishy.

If it had teeth ??? do not put your fingers in its mouth no matter what type of fish it is it will hurt you

From the explanation, I would have to say some sort of saltwater species.

"No pics???"

Nope sorry didnt have a camera with me.

"Hmmm, a mouth on the front??? Sounds fishy."

I was meaning that the mouth wasnt on the bottom like a carp ; /

"Prolly just a silver mullet."
I was using mullet, its wasnt a mullet.

Sorry I dont have any better description. It didnt have any really unique characteristic other than a really silver color on the lips. It wasnt have any special colors on the body, and no unique shape.

Sounds like a saltwater fish to me...

You know I just had to mess with ya...

i bet it was a ladyfish aka skipjack

small bluefish

did it fight hard or leap out of the water any? if it did it was probably a ladyfish

"sounds fishy"


HAHAH
