Looks like an awesome time fishing. I wish I caught more fish like those. What is the fish in the very last photo?
green terror
 
What part of FL are you fishing? Those Dovii look great.

No, it's a G. brasiliensis.



You're keeping all the dovii? And trying to sell them? What happens when they don't all sell or acclimate well to a tank or ship well? Back into the canal or euthanized or what?

I tried my hand at catching and selling feral green terrors in Hawaii and the large older fish never acclimated well; I had trouble getting them to eat and not spook and kill themselves in tanks. Shipping was out of the question and I quickly gave it up. Small fry on the other hand...acclimate readily and ship like a breeze.

What's the size on the largest dovii? Those in the photo look like what, 14-15"?

Makes me wish I was back in Hawaii where you never knew what you were going to pull in...
 
Pound for pound (or ounce for ounce) the gt's, red devils, jags, convicts and pbass I caught fought just as hard if not harder than largemouth bass. Oscars not so much.
 
how many texas type cichlids did you all catch? The dovii looks crazy along with that brasiliensis.
