Just thought I'd share this amazing snap of a stunning Grayling..
I came accross it whilst searching for an idea for a new avatar.. I've have no information on where it was caught or the captor.

and i must admit at looking a second time i think someone has been playing around ,it seems like a trouts head(mouth),and tail appears blurry and out of context with general coluring ,and im 99.9% certain now ive looked again that the dorsal is from a gourami ???

It's a male Arctic Grayling.

you gotta be kiddin?
have you seen any pics of atlantic grayling before?

I have made a living for many years using Photoshop, and seeing the full sized image on the link I can't see any of the usual give-away signs of 'Bad photoshopping'.

I haven't fished for Arctic Grayling either but it looks like a real unadulterated photograph to me. It's not a trout head, check out the shape of the pupil, and the tail is in water, not blurred (admittedly this is harder to see in the small sample FlyGirl posted). A fabulous fish.
