Florida Wild-Caught: 16" Jag

[notnew2dis]

Got this guy in one of my favorite spots.
By far the largest I have ever seen.
He seems to have survived a gator attack which healed up, but the right side of his jaw is a little askew, and his right eye is sunken in some.
He does see perfectly well, though. He's eaten some 4-5" sunfish that I have caught for him.

That's a nice monster beast! What did you catch him on, live sunfish?

Funny story: I was fishing for little jags with a #14 hook and a worm. Even though he fought, I managed to land him on 8lb. test.
Definitely unplanned.

That's cool, I wish we had cichlids in our local lakes here in Cali, only game fish here. You ever catch any nice looking Mayan cichlids?
