you have to admit, the teeth are QUITE menacing on a larger specimen.....I was extremely careful when I unhooked the one I caught because those teeth were the 1st thing I saw when I pulled it out of the water. lol.....another one of those oddball fish w/ "reptilian" dental hardware
One I caught in upstate NYDude, what's up???!!! Where u been? Haven't seen you in like a million years lol
I see the post about people keeping them w/ Oscars and I know they share habitat in the wild in Florida w/ them, but when you get a good look at the dentition on a bigger one, it's a wonder ANYTHING is safe in their presenceThey gotta have teeth in the hundreds
That's just awesome, Bro...couldn't have picked a better spot to post that pic after my last post lol
yea, it might be a little useful for owners/keepers to know what type of injury these guys COULD inflict, but I don't recall frantic snapping and aggression when caught like some other fish do, however. Still, mild-mannered or not on land when hooked - hand or tong-feeding a captive fish in the water is a different story
Once I pulled it out of the water it's just went limp...but it destroyed a brand new Rapala Shadwrap In The process
