 How he survived to that size is amazing. Must of been Harry Houdini like when he was a little tacker.

What an awesome looking fish. Never seen anything like it.

I'd have been pretty tempted to get that thing mounted!

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Great catch. That fish is not

Great catch.

 

That fish is not an Albino. It is leucistic, white with black eyes. An albino fish would have pink eyes. A great catch none the less. Leucistic Barra go for around 3 - 5k in the aquarium trade true albinos around the 10k mark!

never heard the term leucistic before, would just have assumed albino.  have seen it in pics of pythons before.  thanks for that info.
