- was sent to me by the father of one of the Belarussian boys we had last
summer. Of course, the father speaks no English, and when I had his letter
translated, there was no mention of the fish. He referred only to the
picture of himself.

My question is, what kind of fish is it? The family doesn't have the money
for long distance fishing trips, so the fish was undoubtedly caught in
Belarus.

Thanks much, JT. The tail looks like Northern Pike. The Musky tail is split
differently. Once I got your message I found this site, which shows the
family pretty well.

Of course, I couldn't have done so without a lead.

Thanks!

Yup, I think you're right. I keep looking for some pink, thinking anything
Belarussian has to be a pinko commie.
