Tee Hee -- Nothing is impossible - however probably highly unlikely that is anything but a slender fish like a Gar. Catch it - and we'll all know.
Good Luck!!

this is not a slender fish it is wide like and has a short head it is in a small public lake and eveyone that fishes there has seen it . there are several on tff that have seen it also but we are mostly bass guys .I am not trying to exagerate at all because i dont fish for carp and have seen very few of them <but have never seen a fresh water fish this big.I have seen many gar in my day and it is NOT one of those. if one of you guys want to give this thing a try pm me ,i always see this thing up in the grass beds.

Has to be a grasser. The water tends to kind of magnify the size of fish but still that would be a seriously huge grasser!
