South American fishing fun.....
 

I caught a couple of shows this weekend on TV that highlighted fishing for Golden Dorado down in Argentina.
Picture a fish that has a similar shape to a salmon, but the attitude of a bluefish. These monsters have the jaw strength to bend treble hooks closed. They showed some of the tackle used to catch these things, and if the lure wasn't solid with tuna/shark strength hooks/splitrings/swivels, it would crush, chop or shred the lure and ruin the temnimal tackle.
These things have interlocking teeth that look like a hacksaw.
Real nasty looking, but man, are they aggressive!

They made Dahlberg look silly :bl2:

Saw that too, "The Hunt For Big Fish". It was nearly every cast at one point. I was surprised at how fast the water was moving yet the fish were still holding there.

i think they would have made any fisherman look silly

that was sick

Great fish to catch They have been recorded at 6 foot in size I know i was born their.More like a gold bluefish than salmon though.

I saw that episode too, it was awesome. I loved how he showed some lures there were chomped in half!

I caught that too......They totally destroyed lures. Turned wooden to Sawdust and completely snapped Plastic into pieces. Looked Fun fishing that Dam

L.D. is the man.
I love that show.

it is one of the better fishing shows out there

anyone know if the show is going to be repeated?? needless to say i missed it the first time around. thanks
a 6 ft bluefish would tend to be a little much

Believe it or not up to you.

I just checked the schedule for VERSUS, and the show " The Hunt for Big Fish with larry Dahlberg" featuring the Golden Dorado episode will be repeated on 3/28, 3/29 & 3/31. It's on late morning on each day, between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm. Better fire up the Tivo !

thanks for the get back with the schedual.love to catch big blues, and can't wait to see what these guys look like. ed

Saw that show , like linesider said to see the current these fish are holding in was incredible. It was funny to see the look on L.D'S face when one of these monsters took the plug. :eek:

let's see if this works....

If you liked the Peacock Bass fishing, you'll love the Golden Dorado.
