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

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
