Holy Mola! The sunfish in the lakes around here are iddy-biddy compared to that guy!
They must grow'em big in Lisbon! Great image, very clear! Well done.

Great Capture, very Clear and Chrisp. When I was a young man, I used to work with my Father, who was a commercial Fisherman in Sandiego Calif. We would stay out at sea for up to 60 days fishing for Tuna. I remember seeing these fascinating creatures swiming in schools, some of them could weigh 500 lbs or more; simply huge and they move so gracefully in the water.
Thanks for Sharing this
Chewys Dad.
