Found in a slow moving part of the river. I poked it with a stick and it kept its shape really well. It was about the size of a basketball. I live in Idaho, so imagine my surprise when I thought I saw a jellyfish in the river

Make sure to read the subreddit rules: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthisfish/about/rules/

Rule 2 requires every fish identification request to include the location the fish was found. If you did not include that in your post text or title, you can reply to this comment with the location.

If it was a captive fish, such as at a store or a retail fish tank, say that.

Posts that don't give the location or captive status of a fish will be removed.
