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!
