At least you guys didn't have an audience when you got bit.On one of my fishing trips we ran out of beer and I had my guide stop at one of the little bars along the river.One of the local fisherman was throwing a cast net and came up with a small payara.I reach down and pick it up out of the net Everybody jump up and started to get all excited.My guide that spoke a little English looked scared.I held the fish straight out and said that there was nothing to get so excited.The little payara turn its head like in the exsorcist and buried one of its tooth into my thumb and broke it of in my thumb.The locals went nuts and my guide push me into the boat and we left without getting me more beer.I had to put up with an infected thumb for the rest of the trip.

The armatus is ok and I will NOT be using tweezers! My baby only gets the best!

I am about to feed him some live food....his naturally preferred kind. :naughty:
