>>2606782The cichlids down here are fun because of that. And they fight harder than the native bluegill. These cunts love to run the line up and down parallel to the shoreline until you finally get them in.
Native north american fish are mostly a little lazy. Peacocks fight harder than LMBs, especially when you get >4lb LMBs that are just lazy most of the time. Snakeheads fight like wild because those cunts run for the nearest structure and a big one will wrap your line up real fast. Biggest freshwater fish I ever hooked and lost must have been a near record and he ran my 20lb braid into a snag after a few seconds of fighting and then the drag going brrrrrr, I’m 90% sure it was a snakehead. Guy who lived on this lake told me about a ridiculous sized one he got there and tossed back, something like 36” or 40”+ and I totally believe him because I have gotten 24”+ fish thwre and would think I hooked a gator if it didn’t hit and fight just like a snakehead.
