Name That fish!

These brutes are considered one of the greatest fighting fish in freshwater and can grow to more than 50 pounds. They are known for their fierce strikes on top water lures and flies.

UPDATE: Black Bass is correct (although they call this one a Spot Tail Bass). They are commonly found in Papua New Guinea. Both the black and spot tail bass are members of the family Lutjanidae, commonly known as freshwater snappers. Nice job Eric! (AGAIN!)

    Looks very similar to a Peacock Bass, but they usually have a spot on the tail and more color.

    Peacock Bass are one of the Cichlid family and nothing to do with the Bass family apart from a slight resemblance, that Fish looks more like a Barumundi.
