@Expat I believe it is a “Mullet” fish. https://myfwc.com/fishing/saltwater/recreational/mullet/ https://portal.ct.gov/DEEP/Fishing/Freshwater/Freshwater-Fishes-of-Connecticut/Striped-Mullet
When I first got it I assumed it was a mullet but it looks a bit different from others I’m familiar with. Thus my post here. mullets are extremely common here.
Mullet is also the plural of mullet I believe, in the same manner as "sheep".....what kind of cretins do we have fishing here......
looks like maybe a little ladyfish maybe, eyes are just a little to small to make me go all in on that though -
Correct. American Shad to be exact. https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/discover-fish/florida-fishes-gallery/american-shad/
Well put the thing on a larger hook and throw it back in and troll around for a little while. Lake Ouachita Arkansas, early April.
