Have any of you ever caught any strange fish maybe from another country if you have please post pics and story here's mine.
It's a Barramundi THey live in Australia there the same family as a snook caught in florida at a fish farm
Oh, 5 pound bluegill will be in here. He catches all the funky stuff.
how do they fight? I saw Bill Dance fishing for them one time and thought it was very exotic.
No clue...
A goldfish
Tiger koi
Yellow Koi
Orange Koi
Albino Oscar
Orange/White Koi
I have more pics of odd fish but I am at school now and a lot of them are not on my photobucket and are on home computer...
They fight amazing I have probally caught 1000 there everything a 7'6 mh rod and 20# braid can handal. I work there
What bait do you use to catch the koi
QuoteWhat bait do you use to catch the koi
Corn and Bread...
Im realy not jokeing...you gotta fish for them in the evening or morning and bring some extra bait to toss into the water in area your fishing... you also have got to find the spots where the carp are. Most of the carp I catch are common carp but occasionally il get a koi
I know a pond where there are like 3 koi but no carp that i know of do you think this would still work
How do koi fight?

They do not jump like bass...They usually will pull a lot of drag and run back and forth infront of you or make big runs to deep water. From personal experiance I think normal common carp fight harder than kois...

Yeah it would but youd have to fish when they are feeding....and preferably when they are all together in one spot if there are only three
The pacu kills me.
Caught this fish on a black LC spinnerbait. Don't ask me what it is.
Thats a carp too. They eat crustaceans and such so they'll hit crankbaits and spinnerbaits sometimes too.

Definately not a carp. I caught many carp, the backfin is different.
Here's a carp.
idk to me it looks like a carp. Not the same species as the common carp, it might be a subspecies or something like that.
I might have to look it up lol, I'm interested now

It's 100% not a carp, trust me. Besides, we only have common carp and the odd koi in the lake I fish. I think it's some kind of weird chub. If you find out what it is, let me know. Carp have barbels at the mouth (the fish in the pic didn't) and their backfin is different.
World record shiner? That's what it looks like to me, it's definitely not a carp though.
i was going to say it was some type of chub, too. I don't know what kind, but I have caught chub that look very similar but they are silver and not as fat.
looks kind of like a fat grass carp

Yeah I can't say i'm positive it isnt but I have to say its really unlikely that the fish you caught is a carp. I was looking at pics last night and the fins on the carp are alot different than the fish you caught. You win that one, I believe you owe me an "I told you so" lol
Quotelooks kind of like a fat grass carp
We don't have any grass carp. I'm glad we don't.
It looks like a big *** River Chub or fall fish. Got me on that one.
Where was it caught? This might help us solve the puzzle.
QuoteWhere was it caught? This might help us solve the puzzle.
In the southern part of switzerland. It might be a SCARDOLA (Scardinius erythrophtalmus)?
I call these Porcupine fish
My wife caught this they are pretty common catch
and I catch some plecostimis on ocassion they are taking over the St Johns river chain the locals call them Armored catfish but they are plecos like you buy at the pet store to eat algae on aquariums they are just 2 to 3 lbs instead if aquarium size. I have been seeing coi or giant goldfish in a canal I catch gators in they are bright yellow . I also caught an albino rainbow trout it was stocked from a hatchery in NC
The pleco
Oh yeah I caught this she gator a couple weeks ago they look strange with no tail and it had 1 toenail on one foot
Daniel .... that's definitely a strange looking fish.
It has the shape of a rudd... a big one too.
But the fins do not concord, they rather look like the fins of a chub.
Might as well be some kind of hybrid.
For me that's just another baitfish .... a big one ;D !
We catch Plecos to but im preaty sure there diffrent than armored catfish.
I have caught a weird fish took a pic of it on my cell phone, dont know if i can download it to the comp. but it had really rough skin.
No bigger than it's mouth looks in the pic, it's a wonder it got hooked!
As Ever,

it looks like a big mouth buffalo

I think that fish might be a Buff as well.
Its a d**n shame what people will put in the water. There should be no excuse to dump an Oscar in a pond. Cook it up and eat it if you can't care for it.
