I almost said a small spot. But I doubt you catch those in fresh water.

easy bcklash. LOL.
I caught it in a tidal river. I have never seen one before. I have caught several spot tails but nothing that looks like that, but it does resemble the head.

lol. It looked to me like a mixture of a spot and a croaker. I gave it a new name though. Chessy Creek Bream.

Looks like something an Atlantic croaker, it's in the croaker family, like redfish, and black drum. I think everything in that family can cross into fresh!





Here's it's mommy! ^^

Croaker for sure..

They are some fast growing BTW.

Most authors maintain t h a t croaker s mature a t the end o f t h e i r second year (Pearson 1929; Gunter 1945; Johnson
1978), but others report that some may mature and spawn before
their second year is completed (Avaul
tetal .1969; Hansen 1970; Etzold and Chris t-mas 1979).
Wall ace (1940) reported
that males mature at 2 years and females
at 3 years o f age. Surviving
spawners and juveniles (by then the
1st

y r - c l a s s ) overwinter in the gulf and
return to the estuaries the f o l l o w i n g
spring. The c y c l e may repeat several
times during the l i f e t i m e o f a s i n g l e
f i s h , as at l e a s t some members of the
species live to 4 t o 5 years of age but
r a r e l y greater (Parker 1971; Etzold and
Christmas 1979).

Let me add that a three year old is about 18 inches long. The Chesapeake rarly sees croaker over 4 years old..



This one was caught just downriver from my summer house..

Atlantic Croaker, how the heck do they end up over here, I call them bait theives when fishin live bait for reds. They usually have a more golden look over here which fools tourists into thinking they have a red on the line, I hear they eat good but I havent ever tried, obviously that one wont, but at least someting was caught.
