After googling " large fish in achafalaya river " and looking at a bunch of pictures. My best guess is Buffalo Fish. Never heard of them before, but the mouth in the pictures of buffalo fish looks similiar to what we saw.
Similar looking fish
Again, only a guess.

interesting...hats off to you for having the balls to do a trip like that... 
how long did it take?...
also, could have been buffalo, but that is pretty big for a buffalo...I'd say there are only a few kinds of fish in the atchafalaya that grow that large...alligator gar, paddlefish, buffalo, sturgeon....
based on your description, my guess would be that you are seeing sturgeon...if so, you are looking at a living dinosaur....
