Feedback much appreciated
Many Thanks in advance

Looks like a very thin brown trout - probably now dead after being
exposed to the air like that. When was it caught?

The fish is not probably dead but definately as dead as the embers on
whic it was cookded. What is the best way to expose it to air?

:-) That's OK then. Best way..? I don't understand the question. I
was making the point that people who catch and release after taking
pictures like that are probably killing fish without realising it. They
can't tolerate very long out of the water - it damages the gills. But
if you killed it and ate it, that's fine. It's the only good reason for
catching a fish IMHO...

the coloring is wrong for browns, i presums this is sea trout instead
with colouring and inverted bottom jaw like that. Sea trout.. hope
you had a game licience to kill it?

Browns come in a wide range of colours. There's a distinct trace of
yellow in there which suggests to me that it's a brown trout rather than
a sea trout. But they are the same species of course so who can say,
without knowing when and where it was caught. Never heard of an
"inverted bottom jaw" being an indicator for sea trout. Where did you
get that idea?

It looks thin but it's a good size and has a hell of a good tail on it.
I suspect it's a brown which hasn't recovered properly from spawning. If
the OP had to ask what fish it is, the chances of technicalities like
licensing and season having been observed are remote. The fine mesh net
looks like one used by a coarse angler rather than a game angler.
