Insulting catfish

[Doug stone]

Earlier this year i was on a fishing trip in the brazilian rainforest, I caught a couple of tiger shovelnose catfish but this one had a message in its markings for me


Charming!

Nice fish. What's the message? I cannot read anything readily. I see something that resembles the word "ugly"...

[Doug stone]

Thanks viktor
Yeah Its just the word "ugly".

[Viktor Jarikov]

How is it insulting? Would it not rather mean that the fish is either admirably humble or suffers from an ill/poor self-image... from reading all those fishy magazines where only the perfect, skinny, air-brushed, and re-touched fish are featured?

I doubt a fish this beautiful would have a self image problem, i think it was more aimed towards me lol.
