Those are beautiful cichlids. I fished for them and other invasive tropicals while I was working a six month stint engineering contract for LCEC down there. Very cool pictures.
Nah we were crackin them off beds with jigs. Tons of fun. All CPR n thx for kind words. We always fish with this dude when we down in Miami or okechobee. Instead of draggin a boat and dogs and all our crap we leave boat n call our boy. Way more fun n prolly ends up cheaper then towing boat and all bs to go with. N he is the man. Dudes name is Steve at bassmasterguideservice.com. Tell him u know me n I'm sure u will b taken care of!
caught many of them in miami after hurricane andrew i lived there for a year working doing storm clean up .it was cool catchin peacocks and largemouths off of structure like whole roof systems that were blown into the canals and ponds
