my guess would be mullet.

 

[BennyV]

Where’d he take the picture from? Up in a tree across the street?

 

[cany]

He kept them and cut the heads off without knowing what they were?

[CELLFISH]

a little online research, my best guesstimate, west coast “LADYFISH“... a terrible table fare fish... cellfish...

I was going to guess Ladyfish, but thought nobody who knew anything would not have been keeping them because of their "inedible" status...

Love playing C&R with them, related to tarpon and they like to jump just as much, whenever I find myself down in FL visiting family. Thankfully, that won't be happening much anymore as there are few family members standing down there that I have an obligation to visit...

I'm strictly catch and release from shore.
Just out of curiosity. Does anyone happen to
know what the NY state marine regulations
are for Hickory shad?
