giant channa?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
id goe with either Channa diplogramma or Channa micropeltes...more likely the latter from what i can make out
 
look @ that purple coloration on its body!!! true monster indeed...
and the guy on the right is in lots of monster fishing pix online...
 
I want to say C. Diplo since the coloring seems to be lighter. I could be wrong though.
 
Indian strain of microlepis
