I think that’s a shad, not a trout... it has a long anal fin, trout don’t.

That’s the tail fin not the anal fin you’re pointing out and the reason I said ii thought it was a farm raised trout was because the tail fin is split

Farm raised trout often do that...split tail fin.....that extended tail fin ....I wonder if it’s salt water or brackish

Wild trout do not have split tail

I’m from Miss/Louisiana and it doesn’t look like our shad but the tail is shad like

There are indeed trout farms in central Florida....this pic is from Polk county area but I agree it’s likely not any kind of trout....the tail fin is too extended anyhow

I’m sending it to a buddy of mine in Naples to get his opinion.

He’s fished for fifty five years in Florida.....it’s got me wondering

The speckled nature and the split tail fin being tells....maybe a type of catfish?...pelvic fin with dropped pectoral fin .....

blam do you fish?
