Hi Guys!

I looked it up in Paul Skeltons book and can id it as Micropteus Tennisballeus!
A very rare specie that take soft plastic and occasionally crankbaits.

it has been known to survive long periods of time out of water ( even longer than a barbel!) and kids and some sportsmen play with this very docile creature.
When exited it has the ability to "bounce" and sofar no fatal attacks on humans have been documented.

One of its favorite pastimes is to jump through glass windows ( I presume it mistakes the windows for water?) and take joyrides in the mouth of a dog. ( Apparently the dog saliva restores lost moisture...)

Find attached a pic of recent damages caused by one of these fish!

Regards
Herman
