either that or Dr Doofensmirtz (sp?) created a fishinator while Perry the platypus wasn’t looking
Looks like a bass fingerling, but I’m not 100% on that.
thanks for the potential ID, I was wondering what type of fish it could be.
Bassnado
Not any kind of bass that I’m familiar with. Certainly not a Large- or Smallmouth, and it lacks an eyespot near the tail which would make it resemble a peacock bass. Looks like a marine baitfish of some sort.
If the finnage were more on display, that would tell the tale. Being a fingerling, it could be a bucketmouth or a sucker. (It certainly isn’t a panfish or a rough fish like a buffalo or gar.) But the Texarkana region is big bass country.
Some other fish that I saw looked like Gizzard Shad. No idea what this one is. I’m assuming that waterspouts would be more likely over salt water. Not sure how far the fish could be carried. Texarkana is a good distance from the Gulf.
As long as it’s not raining frogs!!!
Gotta hold a little something back for later.
I think I learned about these latter-day rains of fish when I was in, uh, school.
Scary but I wish I was in that car with the Twister chaser...
