that is a 'siamese' Carp. I don't have elecronic photo, but the carp's head is at least twice as big a the guy who caught it.

Something bigger than a Magoi...Makes one think they might start using that bloodline... Thanks Steve for the link.

They turned it loose after taking photos. I'm having deja vu here and feel like this fish has been discussed before.

after looked at those 6 pictures closely, I can't help but noticed these details

1. all 6 pictures were posed with a dead fish
2. the fish body was always straight in all 6 pictures. no fish will have a straight body like that when hold outside of water. These guys arms are not long enough to keep the fish from trying to shake off. its tail would swing from side to side.
3. what are the chances that the fish eyes were staying in the same position in all 6 pictures
4. the fish mouth was opened with about the same size in all 6 pictures. its lips got pulled out to the max.
5. the fish color doesn't live up to real fish either.

Based on these observations. I believe these pictures were clearly taken with one of those fish that people mounted on their walls at home. my conclusion... it's so fake!!!!
