Iraqi catfish part 2

[Supes13]

check out what me and the chap caught this morning...i researched online and think i may have identified it as a silurus triostegus. i thought it was neat because its coloration was exactly the same as the digitized camoflage that the marines wear.

caught it on our secret bait...raw bacon

very nice catch.

Kinda looks like a cross between a snakehead and a wels catfish.
I just noticed in that first picture a hole in the middle of it's back! how strange!
Thank you for your service by the way.

raw bacon works almost as good as raw chicking livers. fresh chicken livers
so you ganna put it in a tank

heres a few more shots. this is the chaplain and what he calls his "Marine Catfish"

We released it after taking a few pictures. fishing is our way of beating the stress and we have so far seen quite a few species. ill post more pictures of our fish as we catch some new ones.

here is me and my carp that i caught the other day, as big as it was it didnt fight that hard. i think the water gets too warm and doesnt have that much O2 in it.
