Will someone please help me identify what species of fish this is? I know it is one of the species of buffalo, but I'm not sure if it is smallmouth, big mouth, or black. It is quite large it weighed a little over 38 pounds. If it is a big mouth, it is within 4 pounds of the Mississippi state record for this fish.

Thanks for the help.

Here is another pic to help out

It looks to me like a Carp of some sort check out the Tread about Asian Carb....maybe this is one of them?

It's a big mouth buffalo.

thanks, I was pretty sure thats what it was, but I just wanted to double check.

Looks like a buffalo to me.

Nice fish!

Buffalo or carp. During their spawn, its great fun to bow fish for them.

Wow!! Thats a big one!
