No wonder there is public bickering due too many brim and perch fishermen on-line😉.

I would love to see better photo of the chin barbels and the anal fin, but at first glance this looks like a really big white catfish.

             I just knew the anal fin might come into play. You identify gurus are very anal about the anal shape and anal spines and anal rays! You tell em John 🤪. Spock and BilletHead find this fascinating.
