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....

My guess is Asian Carp. I see a ton of dead ones in the warm summer months

Kayak in the chaff? Dude you got balls...that river has the strongest current in the state. I've fished catfish via trot line for years launching out of Melville. Did you notice any sway when you crossed a whirlpool? I've felt the rear of an 18' aluminum boat sway crossing a whirlpool when the river was high. No way in hell
I'd get in there with a kayak.
ETA: I've caught catfish up to 65lbs in there.
