the top fish posted is very similar , it has the same head features but with larger eye and spike teeth ( jaw extended past the large eye , eye close to the jaws hinge ) . a smaller dorsal and lateral fins too completley webbed . very , very bright silver in color with larger scales . totally silver in color , no dark markings at all , underbody ( belly ) thin white strip ., about the same size scales you would see on a gar or a carp . the basic body shape of a northern pike .
both time i have seen this spicies of fish it was feeding , it surfaced out of the water very fast on about a 40 degree angle with it's prey in its jaws , completley airborn .
i have been searching all kinds of data bases from here in the u.s. nothing yet . this top picture is the closest thing yet . what species is that dave ? it might be a diferent strain of that fish .
