Man...That looks AWESOME!!!

I love how you got the light grey front half with the darker back end. That is how they look when you see them just minding thier own business. Like many fish, they can change colors when you bring them in (they tend to darken a lot). But I think you hit thier natural color pretty much right on!! Great job!!

Now I want one!

This particular one must've been a beautiful baby 'cause it sure is pretty as a grownup.
Bryan, your work is excellent. For me, Rios are kinda special since I've only caught a grand total of seven.
Thanks for the picture.
