Cichlid fishing photos (Not Florida!)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
wow you caught all those...?!? :WHOA::D
 
there's definitely a business to be had if you can ship them to people...
i think it will work out to be a lot less for people compared to importing them from Central or south america.
think about it - ship within the same country... no hassle with import duties and stuff... and get amazing, WILD fish that people probably would have to pay nearly double for elsewhere.
 
please tell me what lakes your fishing at i go to Hawaii. ounce a year and will grab some for my friends and me of course. ill sell some here to.
 
its just unbelievable that you can catch these amazing cichlids, all i can catch in my country are tilapia zilli, Oreochromis niloticus and Clarias gariepinus.

im truely very very very jealous :nilly:
 
The devils came from Lake Wilson. The others, somewhere around the University of Hawaii at Manoa. ;)

It will/would/was easily well over $100 each to ship out one of those fish. The location (Hawaii) doesn't do well for shipping, costs and time. Over night is more like 3 days, sometimes two. And large fish don't ship well.
 
awesome bud! i am jelous!:drool::drool: ever catch any "wild" dovii there? i loved that oscar, so natural looking, rather than the over the top colors you see in aquaria. ohh wait, i think i smell a hawaiian vacation in my future.:headbang2

No dovii. There are snakeheads though. I only saw two when fishing, they used to be really common back in the 70's.
