I caught this fish on the Myakka River and wasn't sure what kind of fish it was. I learned later that it is a Myan Cichlid. The locals here say it's good to eat and great when making Fish Taco's. It is an invasive species and should not be thrown back. Next time it will be in my frying pan.

Nice catch, i've always wanted to fish in Flrodia, seems like a multi-speices angler's dream.
