What is this?

Looks like I missed a good chance.  I did not measure or weigh the fish.  I did, however, release it.  So I will have another chance.  I am heading out this weekend again.

I heard someone say it was a Buffalo which looks like part of the carp family but I will tell you that they (Buffalo) are very bony but that being said a lot of folks will tell you they are the best eating fresh water fish available. I know my mom loved them when she could get them.
