What do you guys think of this play? It felt bit crazy but I did have the initiative and I guessed he would have re-raised me otherwise. TT or AA was a possibility, but if he had TT he might have re-raised me. So the only possibility I thought was AA or a hand worse then mine.

Yea why are you check raising flop? You have a risk that villain check behind and also x/r generates much more folds than cbetting. Your xr is very big... And checking turn is just as bad.
I prefer to cbet flop on this board without information that he is aggressive. After he bets small, your sizing is too big - you can make it much smaller to let him continue with weak hands and still have less than potsize to shove on turn. Turn check is really bad because he doesn't have bluffs anymore (he would have folded his air on the flop after you raised him) so you want to shove for value before a scare card comes on the river or he misses his draw.
I see in your analysis that you are not very convinced in the strenght of your hand for some reason but KK is way ahead in a 3bet pot on this board against the fish's range.
Just bet, bet, and bet. Without history you want to try to pull the most value you can from villain asap.
