message this message is importantGreat shot - and beautiful + lucky encounter...
Look's to me to be a "Silurus glanis Linnaeus"- in english a Wels catfish or Sheatfish (the Real / Common Catfish has 8 "moustache" - as the Silurus has only 6 . But it's true they really look alike.
I have read on a French Fisa Data base - that Wels Catfish is black (normal color), but sometime you can find some yellow, white or even mandarine ones...
See you...
