Extraordinary Fish Photos

It's getting slow, people - so I thought I'd stir up a conversation
regarding photography. Martin de Jong is probably the BEST "fishy
fotographer" I've ever seen, and there are a LOT of good photographers out
there! Theo, if you're reading this: do you know Martin? I know the
Netherlands is not THAT small, but the koi community is!

Enjoy, folks!

Yowza! That's an *enormous* fish! It looks like it could swallow the whole
arm!

Go see this folks, as Martin indeed makes amazing pictures !

Yup Lee, I'm fairly "new" to the Dutch koi scene (discovered it only last
July!) and it is a very thightly knit community with people helping each
other out with designing & digging new ponds, or koi-sitting s******.

Even though the average Dutch garden is the size of a handkerchief, it's
amazing how great ponds they make (often covering about 90 % of their
garden.) Most are very "pro" like (bottom drains, excellent mechanical
pre-filtering, and quite advanced bio stages, winter isolation, at least 2
meters deep etc...).

Martin is a regular on the different forums, and his pictures are well
known
and respected.

Take a look at this sturgeon for example :

1.8 meters of it :-)

Marvelous work! To take those kind of shots, he must know his fish.
