I haven't caught any exotics besides the usual common carp and goldfish, but a friend of mine caught a piranha in the Cumberland.

Great links this link backs up what I suspect . Which is Oscars as time goes by and breed become more and more drab looking . Nothing at all like the pet store Oscars or Oscars folks here own.

While the other cichlids and tropicals develop stunning colors even as old adults but the Oscars continue to lose red and just look drab.
At least all the ones I have seen in canals fairly close though never caught one .
