This orange monster lives in the south of France. According to the article linked below, it was a legendary creature to the locals, until this guy caught it and proved it really existed. Like a true Frenchman, he threw it back, so it's still out there somewhere, enjoying life and getting even bigger. In fact, this example is very likely the world's biggest gold fish.

Here, in my neck of the woods, the urge to gut it and see what it had been eating would have been irresistible.

Or, sneak into the Monterey Bay Aquarium at night and dump it in one of the public viewing tanks.

And a hearty hat tip to www.clusterflock.org/, where I first saw the picture of this ruddy beauty.
