Hello fellow anglers. I'm Victor, a.k.a Pescador do Sertão (Brazilian Outback Angler, free translation). I'm a novice kayak fishing angler, doing BFS almost exclusively in the past 2 years. My favorite species are the Peacock Cichlid (Kelberi Cichlid), Common and Fat snook, Giant Red Piranhas and Trahiras.

 

I came from a sucessful competitive surfcasting and started baitcasting in 2018.

    Usually I use a plastic fish gripper, after they give up. Butterfly net analogs are useless. The giant ones never give my any trouble over bittes, but the smaller white ones (Serrasalmus brandti), are frenetic fishes. For the first time, 1.5 month one white piranha struck my pointing finger fingerprint region, almost bitting it off. Astonishingly, the skin didn't fell off and i got my fingerprint and all info for it back, LOL!

     

    Thank you people for the reception.

    Actually Oscars and consummated fighters and in a testimony of they toughness and resilience, they outfight Peacock basses twice their size. Their fighting capabilities are really underrated, since they rarely go over 2lb.
