INDIANANGLER

Guys,

Just want to take a poll on which is the best looker fish caught by Indian anglers. I am taking the liberty of nominating some of the fishes, which I find amazingly beautiful. I know there are many more beauties on this forum which have escaped my attention so hurry up and do nominate the fish you like most from this forum. We will take the poll after all the nomination. Nominate only a fish which has been caught using a rod and reel in India. (Photo of dead fishes will not be included). PM me your nominations.

Here are my nominations.



Epinephelus lanceolatus or bumblebee grouper caught by Atul (snakehead) from Konkan Coast.



Barilius bakeri or hillstream trout Caught by Jeen from chalakudy river, kerla.



anabas testudineus or the "climbing perch"caught by Sarath from somewhere near cochin.

I would go for the Bumble Bee Grouper

ignore

Rajat, STOP Salivating ...

@barca
We've been pretty confused ourselves about the actual id on the periyar murrel.we guessed maruloides based on the white edges to the scales near the tail of the fish.here are some more pics for your reference

I would like to add the eel in this thread http://www.indianangler.com/viewtopic.php?t=3400 to the list of best looking fishes :d And my vote goes to the eel !!

Haahhaaahhaa Rajat, I remember the C-couch and someone who went crazy hearing about it.. LOL.. you know who :))

Is this the fish you talking about..?? Its the Queen Triggerfish.

Bumblebee grouper.

After waiting for some good nominies i think/vote the best looker is the bumblebee grouper. i would like to nominate the peacock bass caught by Jeen n team

My vote: Bumblebee grouper.
The eel and the blue triggerfish are very beautiful too.

is this a common carp aaron????

yea

nice one ...thanks for sharing


can you please share what was the bait you used for it.......

i'd say that out of all the pelagics the sailfish and the golden dorado are my favorites.in this thread the looker is the bumblebee grouper.thats my vote.but i'm a male angler and my natural looker vote goes to the one below.

YOUR PICTURE HAS BEEN DELETED. PLEASE DO NOT POST SUCH PICTURES ANYMORE.

Here is the Poll. Any other nomination will also be included. Sorry santo, the red tail catfish was not caught by rod and reel. Prasad, sorry buddy, your pictures are too small so give me proper pictures (With names if you can) and i will include them too.

Regards,

Ali.

I have already cast my vote for the bumblebee grouper which I think will win this Election by a huge Margin

Hope this one qualifies.

This was caught while bait fishing in the mumbai cost line.

Blue Line Grouper

Guys, please try not to enhance your image with photoshop or such software.

Some of the pictures are actually hurting my eyes

This is my first image upload, Hope I get it right

Common carp of aaron is bold and the beautiful very sexy indeed my vote finally goes to aaron!

Queen Triggerfish gets my vote
What an amazing blue creature! its too sexy for a fish! The bumblebee goes second cause if it werent there it could be seen as a bee replice and has been there in bee format. LOL!, no queen trigger bee is there, na na, but the blue beaty is awesome!

Looks like the Epinephelus lanceolatus or bumblebee grouper caught by Atul is winning the race by some margin. The run for second spot is between Queen Triggerfish caught by Santosh and anabas testudineus or the "climbing perch"caught by Sarath.

Ali.
