Looks good, bit of a monster.
How much did that cost you? (if you don't mind me asking)

Lovely fish, good buy Jon!

I saw a big beast of a CL come into my LFS recently, but they'd just got it an hour or so before I arrived and it looked real stressed already so thought best leave him there. But I regret it now!

Good work mate, that CL is a cracker
