BassinSoldier Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 http://www.baghdadflyfishing.com/Iraq%20Fish%20Pictures.htm#Mangar_or_Bisz_(Barbus_esocinus)__ Check this out! It's too bad that where I am there are no stocked canals or lakes :'( Some gnarly looking fish over here! I heard that Saddam had stocked some of his palace lakes with LMB also but the low oxygen levels killed them all off after the initial invasion in '03. (We shoulda sent in some SF teams to secure the palaces and install aerators, hehehe) Enjoy the link, I know I did... Quote
