There are tons of invasive freshwater fish down here now that I think about it O_o |
Where I grew up on Kauai we had a bunch of man-made resevoirs for the sugarcane fields. After a while they were stocked with game fish like large and small mouth bass, talapia, and peacock bass (im assuming they are the same, look like a bass with a black dot one of the top fins?) we used to fish for them w/ small tackle.
Peacock bass (we called them tucanary) were friggen bad ass! My friends dad used to dive the golf coarse ponds for a living to collect golf balls. He was attacked by peacock bass numerous times. (protecting their nests) Once a tucanary hit him in the face so hard it split his mask in two
I thought that was pretty gnarly!
