I caught this beauty this past Sunday, and yes I released it.

Wow. YOu caught this where? In a lake?

Very nice. Alien fish. Although not shocking.... apparently there are cichlids and mollies in one of the hot springs in.... Banff, I think.

Where di you catch that!?!?!

if you catch any more of these, you really shouldn't release them. as pretty as they are, they're aliens here and should be killed or put into captivity.

I caught this fish last time I was at a local lake in Coquitlam, put it this way... I had nothing to transport the fish in. I caught it twice in one day, the second time for pics...

Haha Clayton that is too funny. I am totally not surprised it is there, it would make a great meal for a hungry raccoon (or bear because of the size of it!). I'm sure Barry still has his big Koi pond... maybe he would go and try to fish for it.

Yeah I seen em, mostly little guppy type fish and tetras, and I cant quite recall if I spotted some cichlids. Its sad, but they are practically part of the ecosystem now (been there for 50 or so years apparently).
