Crazy Looking Trout
 
This was caught in Turkey. Don't know the common name of the species,
but it is a relative of the brown trout.

Peter,
Could it be "Platysalmo platycephalus" for the latin name? If so the
reference I find says the common name in the UK is Ala Balik and the US
common is Flathead or Turkish trout. I read about those in Prousek's
book "Fly-Fishing the 41st. Here's a couple references. The second shows
a photo and the coloration looks pretty close although the specks are
smaller and the tail looks a little more forked maybe it's just an
immature one. Certainly the one the guys holding looks nice and mature!
