Mayan Ciclid
This was the first of the Ciclid's I caught. Imagine my surprise, while teasing bluegills with squid on an ultralight combo this 8lb monster sucked up the squid. I had no idea what it was or that there was anything other than 'gills in the canal. I would have been less surprised if a gator had taken it. And like with a largemouth bass, I stuck my thumb in it's mouth to pick it up and found a nice row of little black teeth!

That's what the fish scale said, 8 lbs Mike. I'm going back in 3 weeks and will try my luck again. Maybe they've adopted well and crossbred with Tilapia. I was fishing with ultralight, had no net and had to reach into the water to grab the fish. If I can get some more, I'll take their picture with the scale and send it in. Florida has no official record as it's an invasive specie.

It took me about half an hour surfing the net to find out what it was. We had released it, of course.
