I think that’s a shad, not a trout... it has a long anal fin, trout don’t.
Farm raised trout often do that...split tail fin.....that extended tail fin ....I wonder if its salt water or brackish
Wild trout do not have split tail
Im from Miss/Louisiana and it doesnt 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 its likely not any kind of trout....the tail fin is too extended anyhow
Im sending it to a buddy of mine in Naples to get his opinion.
Hes fished for fifty five years in Florida.....its 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?
