I caught this fish (see pic) back in August and was wandering if anyone could tell me what type of fish it is.

My first thought too.... an Oscar.

could be a hybrid red devil. rear end looks red devil-ish but the head looks tilapia-ish.

That's an oscar. Note the peacock eye on the tail just like peacock bass. Some breed of oscars do have long thread fins.
Ugly? A juvenile oscar is $8 at our local pet store. The one you caught probably go for $20 here

Definitely an Oscar, I've owned enough of them as aquatic pets (very intelligent for a fish) to know.
