Coombro .... I'm thinking he's referring to a Freshwater Drum. Back when I was a teenager, I heard them called White Perch ... and didn't find out any different until I was a LOT older LOL!!
And I've also heard them called "sheephead".

But .... what are YOU calling Mountain Tarpin ?? I've heard of Tenn Tarpin (Skipjack Herring) ... would that be the same ?? They will eat a minnow, Crappie jig, or small crankbait ... as my fishing partners & I found out, many years ago, while fishing Watts Bar Lake in E Tenn.
