Still not sure how to upload a picture directly to the page so heres the link to the picture. I caught him on 8lb test and it took 45 mins. He broke my 20lb scale lol i figure he was inbetween 30-40lbs. What do you guys think

Where exactly did you catch this guy? Where in Dade? And most likely its a Red Belly Pacu they loose their red coloring when older. Put some pictures up.

Looking at his avatar looks like its in the Hammocks area. That canal system has a group of LARGE Pacu. Matt (Juan Tamad) posted a pic a few years back. Last time I fished there I ran into 3 mammoth Pacu...
