The aba aba is said to have a max length of around 160cm and roughly 16 - 18kg. From memory the heaviest lopis caught was 25kg. Will try dig some pics up. So while the aba aba may be marginally longer the lops is a larger fish over all.

In the future try adding something insightful. Instead of trolling around trying to nit pick at peoples posts. Makes you look like a jealous 10yo. :screwy:

im sorry but the picture is a wrong specie,this thing is a borneensis,chitala borneensis,they are also rare and not much information about them just like hypselonotus and TRUE lopis.
