The Giant Nile Perch

[M|L]

OK, when we talk about monster, there's probably no other perch out there that's any more monster than the Lates niloticus.

Known to grow over 6 feet and weight over 400 pounds.

Who's up for a big discussion on these "babies"?

The thing that I dislike about Perch’s is they look absolutely great when they are young but with age turn so blend and ugly.
