Butterfly peacock bass

It is a live animal and was returned to water

Despite what the earlier poster said, it looks to me like this is a live animal, probably just caught by a fisherman, and thus in hand for a picture. Anyway, it's a Peacock Bass, here's the Wikepedia paragraph about their introduction to Florida:

"In 1984, after 10 years of study, Florida officials deliberately introduced butterfly peacock bass and speckled peacock bass to the southern region of that state[9] to prey on other non-native species, including the oscar (Astronotus ocellatus), Midas cichlid (Amphilophus citrinellus), and the spotted tilapia (Tilapia mariae). Their introduction also provided additional sport fishing opportunities for anglers. While the butterfly peacock bass has flourished in Florida, the speckled peacock bass has not. Therefore, it is now illegal to kill or possess speckled peacock bass in Florida. The butterfly peacock bass tend to flourish in the canals and fresh waterways throughout south Florida."
