dat is one nice dat..... 
it always kills me how much this fish would fetch in lfs here and someone somewhere can just drop hook line and sinker and snag one of those babes off public peer........person probably just took it home and fried it up.........or better yet dumped it into fish tank........we can only do that for freshwater fish here, pike, pickerel, musky, lm/sm bass, perch, sunfish, bullgill, crappy....etc

Yeah, I've seen that picture before. Big silver dat.
Incidentally, Fishbase lists the maximum size of Datnioides quadrifasciatus at 30 cm or roughly 12 inches SL. Assuming that the tail adds another 2 inches, that would be approximately 14 inches TL. The largest silver dat I've ever had was around 9 inches TL before it died during a pH crash.
