- In this video I show how to catch Bowfin (Amia calva) in the Florida Everglades. I have fished for bowfin for over 25 years and in that time I have learned that fresh cut bait is by far the best bait to catch these fish. Bowfin are a prehistoric fish that fights harder than a largemouth bass, and bowfin are able to live in places other fish cannot. I also included videos of Oscar, Mayan cichlid, Jaguar Guapote, and peacock bass I caught.
Bowfin (Amia calva) is one of the most unique fish in North America. Bowfin are known as ''living fossils'' since their ancestors have existed for millions of years. Relatives of bowfins lived when dinosaurs walked the Earth, which shows how tough these fish are. Bowfin are one of the most underrated fish, and pound for pound fight harder than an equal size bass. Average size bowfin are around 20-26 inches long, and any bowfin over 28 inches is a trophy sized bowfin.
Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus) cichlids are one of the most sought after exotic species of fish in South Florida. Many people travel to South Florida to fish for these fish since they fight hard for their size and can be caught using panfish fishing techniques. Lots of people keep Oscar as aquarium pets since they are beautiful and have an interesting personality. Oscar are native to Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, French Guiana, Ecuador, and other South American countries. Average size Oscar is under 10 inches and any Oscar over 11 inches is a trophy sized Oscar cichlid.
Butterfly Peacock bass (Cichla ocellaris) are the most sought after exotic species of fish in Florida, and many consider this fish as the most popular sportfish in South Florida. People from all over the World travel to South Florida to catch these beautiful fish. Butterfly peacock bass are native to Venezuela, French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname. Average size butterfly peacock bass is around 12 to 17 inches, and any butterfly peacock bass over 18 inches is a trophy sized butterfly peacock bass.
Jaguar guapote cichlids (Parachromis managuensis) are also known as Jaguar cichlid, Managuense cichlid, Guapote tigre, and other names. They are native to Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. Jaguar guapote are usually less than 10 inches long, and any jaguar guapote over 13 inches is a trophy sized Jaguar guapote cichlid.
Mayan cichlids (Cichlasoma urophthalmus) are also known as Atomic sunfish and Mexican mojarra. They are native to Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and other Central American countries. Average Mayan cichlid is usually less than 10 inches long, and any Mayan cichlid over 11 inches is a trophy sized Mayan cichlid.
