Ah...Carmi...don'tcha hate those high numbers on WW? I didn't think you were posting a picture this week, so it's good to see you have.

Glumpie. His name. It fits, yes?

"Big Blue".

The Giants won the Superbowl and they are nicknamed "Big Blue" so that's what came to my mind when I saw this.

Qtpies7 said...

I say you should name him Charlie. He looks like a Charlie. And he looks like a boy, way too ugly to be a girl, lol.

Irishcoda said...

Diane Mandy said...

BLUE MAN GROUPER!

@Diane - Blue Man Grouper - HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I love it!

Great shot :-)

Name - Pungo - "large sea fish"

Tina said...

My nephew (3) would probably say "it's a burp-head"!
Cool picture!

Happy WW, Tina

Eve said...

His name is Herbert. You can tell just by looking at him. Whatever you call him I like him better than my snow today.

Unknown said...

Scary! But I guess that would be a good name howabout Terminator? Even if he's meek and mild it would cause the little fish to leave him alone.

David Edward said...

name it after my "winter blues"
would ya?

Unknown said...

George. His name is George. And all of his fishy kids are named George, too. There's hundreds of 'em. and they all love being named George, after their daddy, who they secretly call Big George, only so they know who they're talking about.

Hi Carmi - I think his name should be Big Daddy. He looks like he's already eaten all the small fish in that small pond, so maybe he's saying, "Okay, who's next?" (He'd probably like to swim over to my blog, where I'm sure he'd feel right at home.)

Lindy said...

That's one big fish - Love the perspective you got on the shot too!

Looks like a Gronk to me. We had a pet arowana when I was a kid named Gronk. This one reminds me of him... I think it's the expression.

Momisodes said...

That is one big fish! I've had a few fish in recent years..but my favorite name thus far has been- Sushi! hehe :)

MamaGeek @ Works For Us said...

Great shot. It's defintely saying "What, is my butt too big?"

:)

Anonymous said...

Wonderful shot... I think his name is Tom Thumb.

Tawn said...

Gus.. like the big chubby mouse in Cinderella

Diana said...

That IS one big fish!

Detroit said...

Looks like Grouper...they can get hugongous.

Detroit said...

Oh! I forgot a caption, how 'bout:

How YOU doooin'?
(notice how his eyes are looking up at something? I love it)

kenju said...

I love Diane's name for him - Blue Man Grouper! That trumps mine!

Anna said...

He looks like a Buddy.

OldLady Of The Hills said...

Ohhh, I just LOVE his face Carmi...LOL...He is formidable and loveable, ALL at the same tine!
A name for this guy....Grrroucho!
The Extra "r's" are needed because he looks like he might be growling....And also that he might just be a grouch....LOL!

although Diane Mandy's "Blue Man Grouper" cracks me up! I wish I'd thought of that.

Carli N. Wendell said...

His name is Sy. He told me so.

Anonymous said...

Oh my that is such a big fish!

Amazing image. What should he called? He looks like a Humphrey. Or maybe an Algernon, LOL. Thanks for the visit, and the nice, thoughtful comments about the Dylan Thomas image I posted. Happy WW!

Big Al

He totally reminded me of the character from one of my kids' books. Big Al by Andrew Clements and illustrated, I believe, by Yoshi.

Meeta Banerjee said...

Big Moe.
I don't know why that's just what I thought he looked like. He looks like a Big Moe.
Oh wait and if its a female- she should be Big Cindy Lou.
My apologies to anyone with EITHER of those names :)

Unknown said...

Carmi.. I think I'll have to go with
Theodore.. as in Geisel.. as in Dr. Seuss.. as in one fish, two fish, red fish, BLUE FISH... it was a long trip.. but worth it. Now.. no carping about it..
