Looks to me like a large, healthy, adult Ctenolucius hujeta.
Either way, the adipose fin screams characin so its off to Other Characins with this thread.
EDIT-
Those scales are normal, it's just the lighting. Even ATF have scales like that out of the water.

Never seen a characin with scales like that. Also interested in the ID of this fish.
It appears deceased, correct?
