Hi d-el and welcome to NCangler.com. I think you may be right about that being a white bass. If you look in our "Fish Facts" section you'll see the illustration below of the White Bass.
The NC record catch was: 5 lbs 4 oz Kerr Reservoir 3/15/86 Caught by: Jim King Type of Bait: Bucktail
BTW great photo. The lighting on the fish is great.
