What a beautiful start to the season.
Caught using a paste bait (dough and chana i.e.dry burned chick peas)

All expertise are welcome to IDENTIFY the fish!!!!!!

Congrats Allan its a Mullet ,
You can also use bread as bait or small white shrimps { jawla local name} to target these fish they are very Yummy , have caught hundreds of them on 16feet long bamboo poles from the edge of the rocks, they can be found in both freshwater as well as saltwater

Mullet it is...

Thank You.

I do not know what freshwater fish this is, but I can assure you that it is NOT a mullet (at least not a sea-going one). Perhaps some of our freshwater experts will be able to tell you exactly what fish this is.

Guys if someone is asking a question about a fish ID, please read the question, understand the geography of where it was caught at least. Then make an educated guess and if you are not sure what fish it is and want to make a suggestion, please use "I think it is a so n so" or something on those lines, rather than an emphatich declaration of what it is. We are here to help people and not mislead them, this is not a thrashy forum.

I presume that this fish was caught in Meghalaya. That is where Meghalaya lies, it would take a flying mullet to get there! Or it could take national waterway number 2 And with all the regional political problems there it would have an identity crisis anyway

It suerly is not a mullet. Looks like some thing localy called as Mirgal.

The first though that appeared to me was that it might be a grass carp or mirgal.

mailme.mario and arish are both right in calling this a mrigal. I would vouch for it to be part of the Cirrhinus group but am not so sure this is a mrigala.

Allan did you catch this from a river or at Barapani (Umiam Lake) ?

Flying mullet!!!!

flying mullet or mrigal...its a beautiful river fish...

Mirgil

Flying Mullet and the Top Diplomat on IA people.... wooooohoooo... what finds ??? Hahahaha

And they all fished happyly ever after !!

lets make this happen.

Cheers.
