Record Striped Mullet

No it's not a hair style.  Didn't know these existed, but I'm sure John has it on his target list.  😄 @Johnsfolly

Samuel Yarberry, of Bryant, was bowfishing on Morgan Point Bendaway Lake near Pendleton, Arkansas (Desha County) on March 27th when he shot a state record Striped Mullet. The fish weighed 5 lbs., 6 oz. Striped Mullet are not a common species in Arkansas. Striped Mullet require saltwater to reproduce; however, both adults and juveniles can migrate and survive freshwater. Mr. Yarberry's record Striped Mullet that was shot in Morgan Point Bendaway Lake (an Arkansas River oxbow) likely migrated from the Gulf of Mexico through the Mississippi and Arkansas River systems.

Yes on my target list. Need to catch it on hook and line for it to click for me . Figured that Georgia or Florida was more likely a location to catch one of those guys. Definitely a big mullet like a Billy Ray Cyrus mullet !
