      Whiting are in the same family as drum. Same mouth(kinda)...much different body shape

      It looked a lot different depending upon the angle you were looking at it. Very purple metallic in the sun.

      I have no idea. Not familiar with saltwater species. It's the same fish as the one I'm holding in my hand in the other picture

      Not being rude just telling you this so you know. That's a black drum.

      I don't think all reds have spots. Do u know if it was croaking?

      Thanks @kiss_my_bass I don't think it's a redfish bc there is no spot but I could be wrong.

      I'm pretty sure that's a red fish. I don't think whiting even eat squid
