If I remember correctly, there are at least two species. One is smaller and that is the species introduced to FL decades ago. The larger one gets pretty big, Over 20# maybe? (wiki say 29#). That is the one to target in South America. Never done it but they apparently destroy top water plugs. Similar to rooster fish I think. |

They do not have a rain forest, fish that can eat you , snakes that can swallow you whole, or pygmy head hunters. I am the guy that has done numerous open water shark dives and rode bulls. I need more than Florida. I do appreciate your response. It would be Florida if I was on a budget. |
