For a fiver; what is that fish my wife caught last spring?? I'm not looking for genus and species; just the common name that Boudreaux in the Atchafalaya calls it!

This will be easy if your favorite book starts with, "First you make a roux..." or you know what "Don't eat the dead ones" means!

Or if you refer to winters as "gumbo weather!!

I'll give you a hint; it has two names, for example "white perch".

Gulf Kingfish? It looks too thick to be one but I can count on zero fingers the number of times I have been fishing in Louisiana. Nice catches. Thanks for the contest.
 
Congrats Darin & Steve!

Great contest, but being from south Louisiana and having caught, cleaned and consumed many black drum, that does not look like a black drum. It is also the first time I have ever heard of one referred to as a gaspergoo(I have heard of a gaspergoo, and mostly referred to as a goo). I may be wrong (so may Wiki) but I don't think so.

Here is a link to what a black drum looks like.

Sorry, not trying to piss on your parade.

Thanks for the input! We've always called them Drum here; I'm not really sure it's a Black Drum or a Red Drum but I was going to take it as an answer since it's so close.

Actually there was a debate among a couple of people with us about whether it was a Gaspergoo or a Buffalo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigmouth_buffalo). One of the older guys swore it was a Buffalo. It's hard to tell from the pic; but the mouth is not like that of a Buffalo.

Two guys from Wildlife and Fisheries came by just after we caught it and asked us what we were going to do with the Goo. (They are considered a trash fish here and they didn't want us to put it back in the lake).

We were fishing with jig poles for White Perch and my wife caught it on a 4 lb test line.

We kept it for a few minutes, took the pic and put it back in the lake unharmed (much to the dismay of the game wardens).

I do love me some white perch, but it has been years. For those Yankees among us, they are "white crappie" and for the Cajuns, they are "sac-a-lait".
 
The white perch are beginning to move into shallow water here. They are fun to catch and even more fun to eat (with a few Abitas)!
Does anyone know what Ken is holding here below? I caught one last summer and pound for pound, it fought harder than anything I've ever caught!
