Should be smallies in there then too!Saturday morning-the water is so high in the creek it is going through the overflow pipe and dumping into the lake.
Probably Smallmouth BuffaloPretty sure that's not what it was although those are there too. These did not have any orange color at all and looked different. They were less than 10ft off the overlook and their mouths opened up the size of a baseball. They were gray and silver white colored like a channel cat.
Looks like you might be right. There was nothing small about their mouths though. They were swimming and sucking up everything they could. Like I said it looked like their mouth opened about the size of a baseball.Probably Smallmouth Buffalo
