Roughfish at school

<p>Hey guys, been a while since I&#39;ve made a post. I was in school and something came up that I just had to share. So it&#39;s my last year in high school and I took an environmental class and man do I regret it. We were going over underwater ecosystems yesterday and the teacher displays a diagram of the different kind of fish that live in North American waters and what kind of water they need. It had a section dedicated to gar and carp and other roughfish that was explicitly titled &quot;Trash Fish&quot;. THEN the teacher begins to go on to say that as water becomes muddy and fills with pollution and trash, you begin to accumulate trash fish like gar and carp. &quot;Man, gar are just really gross and nasty.&quot; So yeah, I do not care for the teacher I will say, but it&#39;s a perfect example of why nobody cares for these fish. Anyways, hope everybody&nbsp; is catching fish lately. It&#39;s been pretty slow here. Was curious by the way, (I caught this about two weeks ago on the MO river) is this a striped bass? I have caught so many hybrids before that I know what they look like but this one just seemed like it had to be a striper. It&#39;d probably be too good to be true but let me know if you guys think so. Thanks guys. - Brad<img alt="" src="https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/12006301_1131353696892798_1083710247804896671_n.jpg?oh=f6e1159bd8801786258b3c9bad12dd2d&amp;oe=5698238B" style="width: 387px; height: 516px; float: left;" /></p>
