    Details: FreshwaterDrum / Gaspergou

    Can any one name this fish? My friend caught it last night wile we were cat fishing and he thinks it's a big mouth buffalo but I think it's a fresh water ...more drum. The water was up about 9 feet and it was very muddy. Temp. was around 75 degrees. Over all good night with 10 cats and this unknown fish. Any help on what it is would be welcome.
