I caught this today on LBJ on a big lizard. It weighed in at 3.8lbs. What is this brown fish? Sorry for the poor quality cell phone picture.

This the 1st brown goo I've seen/caught. The color is what threw me off. Thanks!

Yup...drum. I grew up fishing LBJ...used to catch those on crankbaits and minnows all the time. They are actually pretty good eating!

This is a skinny maybe wormy gou that will not be a good eater. Please do not be offended by these harsh comments.
