fishing:huge midas cichlid release

[misswoohoo2]

an introduced species. if you catch and release a carp in the murray river in adelaide u get a fine!

[ugmidnight12]

Yeah man that was an invasive species. You're supposed to euthanize these buggers if you caught him from a Florida canal.  But I understand if you don't have the heart to.

[Ikanblack]

Throw it further u stupid.

[yamvann]

You could sell it to an aquarium shop for at lease a couple hundred dollars. It has really nice color.

[bassmaster2399]

put it back already!!!!

[meadowfrance]

Why would you release it??

[JoshsMbuna]

you've not a clue you, you may aswell of just overhand thrown it in :\

[FishHobby1984]

Well there gos $150 dollars!!!

[BekBud1]

i like the part where he drops it on the concrete lol

[lakeapoyo]

These fishes are from the Nicaraguan Great Lakes, part of their habitat is in Costa Rica in the tributaries.

@Pararescue001 he caught this fish tard

[rodriRoch01]

Good that you left him go and didn't eat it. If it was an aquarium fish it might contain alot of chemicals.

[TheLOBO187]

Im in the cutler ridge area and i remember 8 years ago i use to fish for jewel cichlid for bait and not to long ago i wanted to do some fresh water fishing and let me tell you they are none left but these midas fish were every wear and i know they have a bigg part to do with it beautiful fish but big time damage on the local fish

[xhawkusmc]

[FLpolo]

[lspimp21]

@FLpolo yeah they are said to be good eati'n yes they have scales and i believe they are from nicaragua and costa rica

[9912699125]

@lspimp21 wow nice fish!looked like flowerhorn becose of the kok!

[chimpdancer1]

Midas are easy to catch, I've caught some in white, gold, and orange. People love 'em for the tank but here's the truth in Fla. You weren't supposed to release it according to the rules and regs down here. For me, I'd have done the same, their too cool looking to kill.

[masversion1]

@chimpdancer1 why arent you suppose to release it?

[chimpdancer1]

@masversion1~ Because it's considered an invasive species in the State of Florida. Anglers are required to humanely dispatch all invasive species caught. Some do, some don't . You can check out the laws yourself at FWc.com

[neeneeyo]

i love cichlids bro. :)

[limefrog77]

why did you release it? it shouldn't be there?

[NaomiHa]

you should catch me one so i can put into my tank aha

[batterballz1]

i wanna live in florida simply for the fact that u can fish cichlids in ur own backyard, i also wanna fish snakeheads

[kushaboi]

nice fish cept droping it on the concrete steps

[lspimp21]

@kushaboi lol I know it looks bad but it was actually his fault when he jumped off my hands but he lived!

[dracula527]

You can catch them in the Miami canals. they are easy to spot because of their bright color. they are usually along the edges, where they can hide under the ledge. they are tricky to catch and rarely bite, but you can try your luck.

[yournamehere954]

Im in south florida. where can I catch one?

[RobineLCP]

so beautiful!!

i think many of us wouldn't release it

good job!! :)

[yournamehere954]

where did you catch this?

[ryanwillwams]

i wish i lived somewhere i could catch fish like that

[ScorpioTroy]

that's tight. A perfect Midas. I wish I had that one in my tank. Cool video,

[lspimp21]
