Let's pretend this channa is 50 cm (Since all we see is the end of the ruler and some forced perspective). You stated that it is common for aurantis to grow to 50-55 cm PLUS.
So we are seeing a picture of what looks to be a 50 cm auranti, that could have been a one in a lifetime catch, with no background. You can't just go around telling people that 50-55 cm PLUS is COMMON. 35-45 is more like what you should expect depending on whether it's a male or a female.
Do I go around telling people chinook salmons can grow to weight up to 45kg/100lb because this dude fished his 30 years ago and is still the world record since? No, I don't because this is an exceptional catch, not the norm.
Could you please get off your high horse?
