What is this?

Skip Jack "Herring"

That's a small one shown

WE call them the Alabama fresh water tarpon.

They are found in swift water below dams mostly, they reach maybe 3 lbs,
they are more fun catching than any fresh water species on ultra light
gear, they do some fantastic leaps when hooked, they have a server under
bite, just like a tarpon, heck to me they look like a small tarpon.

You fish for them throwing small white jigs, usually two jigs on the
line, and retrieving them real fast, just barely under the water.

When they are running and your using ultra light gear, 2 to 4 lb test
line, you say to hell with fishing for anything else, these guys are
just plane fun to catch. I've never heard of anyone eating them, they
have a very strong odor, and cut up they make fine catfish bait
