Wild caught Salvini

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
What a great looking Salvini... crazy that yall can just load up a line and pull these out of the water. Here in Louisiana every other fish is a gar, I think I'd crap myself if I randomly pulled out something with color....

Of course, yall have had two gator attacks there in the last week to people on banks, and our gators here are much more well behaved for whatever reason. We've had 3 in the last 5 years total. So, I guess I shouldn't complain.

We do have bowfin! disgusting little monsters...
 
To answer some questions these were caught in Plantation, where I catch my bait for snook and peacock fishing. They were all caught on little gold hooks and bread. I went out and caught a few more today. They tend to be slower getting to the bread than the mayans and tilapias, but are more ferocious when attacking. When I get my tank running I would definitely have lots of plants because they live in the shallow grass around the banks. I had a surprise visitor come around while I was fishing. I snapping turtle that ate a tilapia as I was reeling him in. Enjoy the pics. The last two pics are the same fish the rest are different.

Nice looking salvinis. I just bought my first one about a month ago pretty sure it's a male. Good luck and great looking fish.
