I can't identify this fish!! Help!!

I thought so too. And believe me, I wanted it to be. But I guess 4 times as big as the world record at 5 lbs 3 oz was wishful thinking. It really does resemble the redbreasted sunfish, but upon much further inspection, its fins resembled only one fish I researched--the pirhana. It's related to the pirhana, and what gave it away were the teeth, and the bottom rear fin shape. Also, like the pirhana, it has the "little fin that couldn't grow" on the top rear. I thought I was a millionaire for a minute--although, who gives a crap about a fish, right?

It was without a doubt the heaviest fish I ever caught in a pond!

20 pounder!!!! wooo hooo !!!
