Can someone help me post them so I can know what it is. Brief description...looks a lot like a gizzard shad, it is 15 inches long, and has teeth. Last edited by CITRUS N; 07/26/10 03:49 AM.

NOTE, just saw the pics, now that theyre up I retract the above and state that "I DON'T KNOW>" Last edited by stevefromtyler; 07/26/10 12:17 PM. -A man is only as good as his word! -Please don't let your lack of planning become my emergency!! -The nine most terrifying words in the English language-- "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help"-Ronald Reagan
