That was the one Masheer, that pic was by Zhou hang. The buggers get big!!! They are listed as Wuchang Bream and the record is 6' 8" long. Damn!

The fish is the Redfin, a predatory cyprinid from Mongolia, china, and Russia. The scientific name is Pseudaspius leptocephalus.
The top pic is from a Russian biodiversty site and was taken by A. Sukhanov,and the lower pic is from Fishbase and was taken by Johnny Jensen.
Heheh, I just had to throw that in.
I will find a fish.
