And one more

Thanks for the pics! The third picture is a carp and the other two look like some kind of barbel.

Keep 'em coming!

Awesome pics of the fish from Iraq!  

nb1226, I was wondering what you caught those fish on and if there are any bass or other predator fish in Iraq. Thanks in advance!

here a couple of funny but short videos to watch:

We caught those fish in a lake that was next to Saddams Daughter's House. Oddly we caught all of those fish on doughballs, all though some fish were caught on some crappie jigs. Im sure there are some predatorary fish there. Here is a picture of a catfish its called a Wells Catfish, it kind of looks like an eel.

They have the wels catfish in europe and they grow huge. i'm talkin 6-7feet and 300lbs. plus.

They catch them on live fish with heavy tackle. if you have some heavy tackle try to get a small carp

and hook in the back then fish it of bottom with a heavy sinker. you might get a big one. if you do, post a picture.

Im not in Iraq right now, but if I go back Ill remember.

I really hope you dont have to go back!!!!!

Well I have no plans anytime soon

When was the last time a musky was caught before you got yours?

Not even the DNR officer I talked to could remember. People were guessing 10 years or more since one was caught but those are just guesses.

Ever seen the movie Predator? Check this dogfish (bowfin) out! My buddy caught this 2 years ago on Houghton lake trolling a crawler harness.

That's one ugly fish!!!! How in the world was he able to eat?

No Idea how it ate, but it couldn't have had a problem as I remember it was pretty big.

From my Brazil trip,

freshwater barracuda.

dogfish.

pirhana

While I do not have picutres, I once cuaght a ramora (sucker fish) while King Makeral Fishing. I tend to think a shark was near my bait and the ramora happend to get snagged.

Those are mean looking fish!!!

I wouldn't go for a swim there! Where those caught on lures?

Redliner, that second fish looks like something out of a horror movie. What kind of fish is that?

Well lets see.......... I've been catfishing and caught a snapping turtle, I've also caught a snapper on a top water lure.  I caught a moray eel while deep sea fishing.  Lol I've also caught a flying fish with my hand deep sea fishing.  Also I was crappie fishing at night once, and I tossed out my crappie minnow only to put a bat out of the air. Also I was trying to fish a turtle out of my koi pond and I accidently hooked up with one of my $600 dollar fish.  Talk about landing her carefully, I was so scared lol.

The freshwater barracuda and dogfish were both caught on a Zara Spook.  The pirhana was caught on a silver/blue Rattletrap.

The dogfish (2nd fish) did look like something out of Jurrasic Park.  I wish I would have taken a picture of it's full body - it had a real prehistoric look to it.  

pic of the real frilled shark

Awesome!

This shark was swimming in shallow water on the coast of Japan and later died!

Must have been sick.

this fish reminds me of the coelacanth. some ancient looking fish which is also still alive today

I saw that vid of the frill shark.  it does look prehistoric.  The Coelocanth.  That looks like something that woulb be found down in the Amazon as well..
