That's definitely a Freshwater Drum, they can fight pretty hard and are one of my favorite species to catch outside of Carp and Buffalo. I've only ever caught one Drum from a pond and it was 8lbs so idk how it'd stack up compared to normal. Looks like a good one though! Catch and release. The dream - to catch one of every species of Freshwater fish in our great state! If only I can resist Carp... https://txmultispecies.imgur.com/
