Who has the biggest Cichla?

[polish]

I've been fascinated by these fish for a while, I've watched them being caught on TV for years; and some MONSTERS at that. I've known people kept them in Aquariums for a while as well but never see anything close to what is is the wild. I assume most die before having the chance to reach real monster status but I'd love to be proved wrong. Anyone on here got some MONSTER Cichlas? I am not talking 2-3lb'ers either, I am talking 25+Lb fish here. I doubt they could live in any aquarium, you'd need a pond or something huge. It just makes me wonder with all the Pbass keepers out there what happens to them all?

Like the pictures below for example.

And these aren't rare either, I can find plenty more photos of monsters like these.

This question has been asked many times. I know for a fact that this question was asked last month. I am pretty sure you can find more photos and such if you search for them.
