maaaaaaate, that has been around longer than Noah's Ark.
General consensus is its a Nile Perch, from deepest darkest Africa.
Kinda makes you sad that no one else will ever catch it

You can tell it's not Australian by the beer he's drinking. If it is,, then he's a p00fta and doesn't count.
Hahahahaha that's a good one....Originally Posted by sandbankmagnet
It is a Nile Perch caught in Lake Victoria. You can forget about catching them that big now that there is a commercial market for Nile Perch. When will we learn that the Tourism dollar is more sustainable than commercially exploiting a species. This is another example of a species that could easily be commercially farmed and the wild ones left alone for CAR anglers.
Don't get me started on DERM allowing the commercial raping of the Mary and Susan River Bara and Salmon.........both species can be farmed. By having fish farms we create stable employment for the commercial fisherman and create a commercially viable and sustainable tourism industry - everyone wins!
The Nile Perch in Lake Victoria are not native and have done a lot of damage to the native fish populations. Let them catch as many as they like I say.

Its NOT flat?
Damn, I need to get out more.
Would have been as good to eat as my steel-caps.....
