YOU BE THE JUDGE - This 15 lb., 8 oz. fish was caught Wednesday night at Mitchell Island by Curtis Thaxton of Lakeshore on a fishing trip with Ronnie Jones of Rock Hill Community. The fish looks like a red fish with spots on the tail and similar color, but its head just doesn?t look like a red. Jones said they were going to have it mounted in order that others might view the strange fish.
