I'm sure that it was a wolf fish.

So the episode was in South America? I only caught the end of it last night-DVR'd for later though...

This trahira is a native to Florida too? How big do they get and are they available to the fish keeping trade? Looks like my BowFin (Amia calva) twin, but without the dorsal the goes completely across the back.

Thanks prskiller for the link.
