"Or called a grinnel. A buddy in Arkansas caught a 15# one while fishing for Largemouth just a few days ago."
Thanks for the added information. I love that this odd looking fish has so many cool nicknames.
"other names are dogfish, grindle, grinnel, cypress trout, swamp muskie, black fish, cottonfish, swamp bass, poisson-castor, speckled cat, shoepic or choupic, and beaverfish."
I think my favorite one is Swamp Muskie.
If you have not yet been introduced to Ginger Billy's youtube clips they are hilarious, outlandish, VERY immature and at times uncouth. But he has millions of views and probably makes an extreme income by poking fun of southern hillbillies and outhouse talk. One of his clips was funny where he built his own swimming pool and turned himself quite blue after using a bit too much pond dye (see I was tying this back in to pond stuff eventually)
I can hear him already recording a new clip starting in his southern drawl:
'Me and my buddies are heading out to catch us some Swamp Muskie'
