LHC - Bank Robber Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 There all over the potomac river, not sure how big they get but the biggest one I got was about as long as a yard stick. Quote
endless Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 slip gun, that episode was on last night too! i watched a lil bit of it. Quote
RobbyZ5001 Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 They will stay in less oxygenated water than bass. That means you can find them in algae choked areas and shallower areas where bass are less likely to be. My concern would be where they go in different seasons. I have noticed it as well that they are in less oxygenated waters the majority of the time. Quote

During the colder months they will slow down their metabolism, bury themselves in the mud and go into hibernation, they will also do this during droughts in Asia. Quote

Shane Procell Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 We gottem everywhere down here in S. Florida. I heard that but I have still yet to see or catch one. Just a matter of time before they move into my home water. Hopefully they won't get out of controll like the cyclids, oscars and peacocks. Quote

Down here in florida when we catch a Cichla ocellaris, we don't refer to them as a cichlid. And when we catch a Cichlasoma uropthalmus, we don't refer to them as a peacock. Quote

Eternal Angler Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 They are the most hideas looking fish ever, definitely remind me of a bowfin. But, these fish are so much more agressive. I remember seeing one in a fish tank tear apart a largemouth bass on YouTube, really a sad site to see. I hope these scoundrels don't enter the lake where I am, we already have to worry about asian carp. Quote
Eternal Angler Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Did you keep it? I hear they are delicious. I heard the same, it's probably because they eat everything in the lake. I can't wait to try one! Quote
