What is this fish?
I took this long distance photo of someone landing a large fish from
the River Arno in Florence, Italy in April. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4019461/Fish-Arno.JPG I'm curious; can anyone identify the species please? Is it a VERY large pike? (My best ever pike, from a UK gravel pit, was about 11 lbs. Slightly smaller than my best ever barbel at 11¾ lbs. Both several decades ago!) -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK

The wels catfish (Silurus glanis), also called sheatfish, is a large catfish found in wide areas of central, southern, and eastern Europe, and near the Baltic and Caspian Seas. It is a scaleless fresh and brackish water fish recognizable by its broad, flat head and wide mouth. Wels catfish can live for at least thirty years and have very good hearing. The wels catfish lives on annelid worms, gastropods, insects, crustaceans, and fish including other wels catfishes; the larger ones also eat frogs, mice, rats and aquatic birds such as ducks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wels_catfish
