Agabus
an interesting one (this one looks very elongate or has the photo been stretched?)..however most species would require male specimens (this is a female) in hand to make a reliable id. Will look into this anyway.

You are right
after looking closely at the enlarged image; there are stria that are barely visible on the elytra

No the image does not distort
I noticed its elongate form when I caught it
