Jonah

It is not Asif and definitely not Mack The Knife.Must be some one else.

Grumps quit smoking.It must be his twin, Rusty.

Hey Jonah, good to see you again.How you been?

Best-

Its not a fish its a cross between a platypus and a carp

Jonah hope it didn't end up as dinner.

Dev

May be a calabanse

Its a hippo.

It is a calabanse, the pimple like projections on it's lips indicate that this fish was caught during the spawning season or just after it.

This fish feeds on moss and algae growing on rocks much like a sucker fish which is why the mouth is bent downward.

The big fish have spoken truly! calabanse it is...

looks like a mahseer with elephantisis..

Hyuk Hyukk..

Thanks GG, wasnt able to logon to your forum else would have definetly posted it there... too many jokers here. There was also another fish which had a kind of hardish hump infront of its dorsal fins I didnt take its picture though but it looked interesting.. I wonder what it was.. Dev, unfortunately I dont eat fish otherwise.. You bet!

Hope it wasn't a Tor Mussulah.

The simple method for identifying a mahseer is to count the scales on the lateral line: 26 - 28 depending on age. All other carps will have 24 scales.

It isn`t me.............No beard or moustache.
