Caught this in 2010 on the Arkansas river, no one I've talked to can identify it's species. Was around 4ft long and weighed at least 50lbs... Any ideas??

Don't big head carp have scales? That fish looks like it has smooth skin.

Looks like a cross between a Nile Perch and a Cobia. Real strange. How did you catch it? Contact TPWD?
