    Hi all
    I think that it could be a tarpon catch on fly

    ‘its one of my favorite fish’ does not narrow it down much.

    Thats true Chris, but I felt any info I gave would make it too easy! Plus the fact that the photo showed the fish was caught on a fly was a little bit of a tip – these guys are highly prized by fly fishermen!

    Nice job Mauricio, I don’t think we’ve stumped you yet!
    According to Wikipedia:
    Tarpon grow up to 2 metres (6.6 ft) in length and sometimes weigh 160 kilograms (350 lb). When swimming in oxygen-poor water, tarpons can breathe air from the surface.
