No doubt about it, they are the most stunning freshwater fish I have ever seen. When they break water jumping when hooked, it is a sight unlike anything I have ever seen. The fight is as good or better than any other freshwater fish.
I went fishing last evening in my 1/4 acre TGG pond...caught 5 Pacu and since only 4 were stocked somebody was caught more than once. Every one of these fish have now been caught multiple times, and yet they come back for more. They continue to grow at an astonishing rate. This is one interesting fish.
Bobad, how about a contest to see who can catch their Pacu the most times in a season? I've got one fish that has now been caught 5 times in three months and weighs almost three pounds.
