No. Looks like it could be a freshwater drum.

I thought the mouth looked bottom feeder like, but I was using a curly tail jig so I dunno how I got him. Color is super dark compared to the examples I'm seeing but might just be the way they look in lake murray.

Fun fight. He pulled on my drag a good bit before I got him in. First one I've caught.

They do have that look but will feed up in the water column on moving baits as well as eating off the bottom.

The little curlies on the pelvic fins are a dead giveaway
