| Re: What kind of fish did I catch? Hi Mike - nice mullet. It is a Striped Mullet (Mugil cephalus) - very common on the western side of the North Atlantic. They are good sport on fly - they take flies somewhat more readily than do the grey mullets on the N. European side of the Atlantic - I've had striped mullet in both Texas and the Canaries (where it is known as the Flathead Mullet) I returned my Striped Mullet, but have eaten other species - the Yellowtailed Mullet of Australia is a surf-beach mullet and excellent eating. The Southern Harder Mullet of S Africa (a mullet of BIG salt lagoons) is also good. The Thick-lipped Mullet found in many harbours and estuaries in the UK is not usually eaten - it hangs around sewage outfalls - 'nuff said.     |

 Re: What kind of fish did I catch? That would be a mullet my friend. The best thing to do with is to get a bigger rod, a 12/0 hook and some steel cable and bait him up for either tarpon or a big south Florida Shark!! Also good if fried immediately after caught!
