Fish pics

[headbanger_jib]

I would like to keep a single thread for pics and keep updating the thread, with old and new pics.








The next image is something that has been in my mind for a very long time, but I have always either not got the tail spread open wide or the pectoral folded or the fish just not looking at me, this image I got everything right.

Both the photos and the fish are unbelievably nice.

Did you use a spotlight?

Great photos as usual jib. See why u wanted to get a full shot of that tail. Last pic has/does it all!

Really nice snakehead. They're not legal here, but if they were that would tempt me.

As usual: "Wow." I'm tempted to say that fish should be paying you for those nice of pix.

thank you
I was very happy with the shot, although I wanted the dorsal too, but I waited for the pectoral spread and lost the dorsal.

Thanks man
It would help if they just would co-operate when I shoot, and not make me keep waiting for that moment.

Super pix -- why don't you shock us sometime with a blurry, out of focus shot, you know just to make us normal photographers feel good?

In all seriousness though, that second pic is jaw dropping Wow.
