Damn!

Wow, that is one very large specimen. Is it possible to post a link to the literature that goes with that photo?

 

[BIG-G]

This was my guy he’s gone now. As big as he looks he was only about ten inches.

I agree. No bearding on the face I can see.

I think you may be correct, Justin. Possibly even a feral hybrid of sorts. The photo is so pixelated I can't tell exactly what he is holding in that photo. A Brasiliensis would make more sense. I guess no further documentation is available?
