ATF Drain Plug Location

The attached photo was taken from the passenger (right) side of the car looking toward the drivers side. Is this is the ATF drain plug I have an arrow pointing to? I have tried to remove it using a 3/8" ratchet, and some gorilla must have put it on because I can't budge it. I want to make sure it is the right bolt though before I start wailing on it with a BFH.

thanks

That is the drain plug, use something for leverage like a big metal pipe because it's torqued on there like hell if I remember correctly

When I took it out I didn't think it looked too bad for 148K miles. But when I put it next to a few drops of the new Honda genuine stuff .... eh not so good.
