I agree with the Carp theory. Hard to tell for sure, but those scales look a lot like those of a carp.

Carp from me as well. We had two carcasses washed up on the boat ramp last week - the buzzards were thrilled!

Another vote for carp! We used to find all sorts of nifty stuff in those things... license plates.. silverware... it was like digging for gold in a fish.

Definitely a carp...they get to be so huge and nasty...I hate catching those dang things..they are hard to bring in and then they arent even worth keeping. :(

Your are all correct, in this hypersaline lagoon there are giant carp, about two feet in length. Hopefully, good food for the Osprey that live there.
