It was caught in the swan river with a net ive only ever seen it once and i have asked a few older more experienced fisherman and they have never seen it before. Its white underneath and has a long snout and if ya look closely on the end of its fins it has like claws but they are not sharp. The fish was caught and released.

i have to ask did you jag one on a jig yet jamie?:)
getting the bottom line final answer from a bunch of blokes that use false names and put smiley faces at the end of paragraphs is not the best place in the world to get the information you seek.
