yup
That is a beautiful fish. Freshwater lakes, rivers, and streams in North America have such a diversity of creatures, but it goes unnoticed, which isn't good for the future of the animals, sadly.
It definitely looks way better after the correction
It's such a cool fish, I wanted to make sure it really came through
not at all, I don't know much about correcting under-water shots
Mitch, I hope you don't mind I color corrected the photo a bit.
I'd have to check the field guide. Biggest I've seen is 2.5 feet or so
Cool looking fish. How long do they grow?
