Thanks Michael and Carl......This fish appeared to have a large amount of fin growth which made him appear larger......like the lobes on the fins almost touch the fanning tail.....just liked this one alot.....

Black Beast!

Caught during a rain storm, you say?...

"Fish know by instinct when it is going to rain, and they fast until it begins. This is because they expect the rain to swell the stream and bring down to them all sorts of delicacies. Therefore, as soon as it commences to rain, they take any thing offered which they can swallow." - Sidney Buxton
