I have never seen a fish like that. Is it an aberation? Can we name it Goldie?

[noresman]

Looks like a cross between a peacock bass,striped bass, and a salmon. Never seen one like that before. What country was it caught in?

[theothereric]

it has the jaw line of a salmon or at least it looks like that to me...im gonna go with spotted salmon during breeding season?

[fisher16]

No, keep at it. Someone has to get it right. I'll post the answer tomorrow. Pretty wild looking fish though.

[Fishstory]

Thats a easy one..... Salvelinus Vasiljevae, a type of Trout caught in Russia..........

Grinning1 Eyeball Roller Embarassed1 someone one was really close within the the last couple of post. Had the first part but the second part was wrong. I'll give you a hint this fish is not in the United States and lives well South of Mexico. It has strong powerfull jaws and is sought by flyfisherman. Lives in rivers feeding on other smaller fish in shallow to deep water sitting on current breaks. Although not much of a hint at least it kinda gives you several other courntries where this fish may inhabit.

I am gonna leave it up till later this evening. Keep at it with those hints I am sure someone will get it sooner or later. Its all for fun. Thumbsup
