I was thinking carp but I've never known them to really strike lures let
alone lures that are speeding through the lake like a bat out of hell.

Carp will occasionally hit an artificial lure. AMOF, a couple of
years ago, I landed a 27# carp which slurped in a bass-sized popping
bug. What a fight on a 9 ft. fly rod with 6 lb. tippet! Happened on
Reelfoot Lake.

Many years ago, during a hatch of 13 year cicadas, carp in the Stones
River of Middle Tennessee were sucking them off the surface. I caught
them on popping bugs then too.
