What part of the country are these fish found in? and and how big do they get?

There all over the potomac river, not sure how big they get but the biggest one I got was about as long as a yard stick.

slip gun,

that episode was on last night too! i watched a lil bit of it.

They will stay in less oxygenated water than bass. That means you can find them in algae choked areas and shallower areas where bass are less likely to be.

My concern would be where they go in different seasons. I have noticed it as well that they are in less oxygenated waters the majority of the time.

During the colder months they will slow down their metabolism, bury themselves in the mud and go into hibernation, they will also do this during droughts in Asia.

We gottem everywhere down here in S. Florida.

I heard that but I have still yet to see or catch one. Just a matter of time before they move into my home water. Hopefully they won't get out of controll like the cyclids, oscars and peacocks.

Thank you for adressing the technical correction. Down here in florida when we catch a Cichla ocellaris, we don't refer to them as a cichlid. And when we catch a Cichlasoma uropthalmus,  we don't refer to them as a peacock.

Lots of fishing

They are the most hideas looking fish ever, definitely remind me of a bowfin.  But, these fish are so much more agressive.  I remember seeing one in a fish tank tear apart a largemouth bass on YouTube, really a sad site to see.  I hope these scoundrels don't enter the lake where I am, we already have to worry about asian carp.

Did you keep it? I hear they are delicious.

I heard the same, it's probably because they eat everything in the lake.  I can't wait to try one!
