Holy Smokes....TAKE A LOOK AT THIS!

When that alarm goes off in darkness of night, you just never know what is at the end of your line.  Such was the case last night when I landed this exotic carp- like fish. At this point no one on the CAG Forum (lots of experts there) seems to know exactly what it is.  It had a turned down mouth like a carp. It had no barbels.  It had a beautiful gold streaked fan tail.  Its fins under the belly were huge, almost the size of my hands.  They were white with gold streaks. Overall it had gold and white scales like a common carp. And, its shape was odd...almost oval. It weighed about 7 lbs.
The thought out there is that it is some type of hybrid.  Whatever it is, it was gorgeous.
