      I believe you are talking about fish locally known as tucunare. I’m not much of a fisherman but I frequently hear about it through friends. My understanding is that they typically range from 2 - 3 kg. In Bolivia, they are mostly found in lagoons in the Beni region. I believe lures are mostly used with them.
      I’ll ask around for specifics (trip operators, prices, best season, prized spots,…) and feed back if I find anything useful.
      PS: I can vouch for their delicious flavor!!!

      The journey is the objective.

              Hey! I'm visiting Tokyo for the first time. Can you (or anyone else) recommend a tacle shop...

              Tokyo really is something else. There is a tackleshop larger than decent sized supermarket back home and it's open 24/7.

                Grew up fishing lakes all the time. About 10 lakes within 30 miles of where I grew up in the Sierra Nevada (love bass fishing and eating). Haven't fished much in the last 10 years living on the coast without any lakes nearby and never getting good at ocean fishing from the shore. Also never really learned fishing on the rivers. But here is one of my last catches from 9 years ago. Biggest fish I ever caught--22in lingcod from the bay. Caught it on a 6lb test and put up one hell of a fight.

                  Upped my Sea Bass game.....

                  The quality of this thing, is completely and utterly off the scale......

                    @Giles I love the sensitivity, feel, and balance of a high quality rod. Is that a spinning rod or baitcaster?

                      Spinning. It has a revolutionary guide system which I am itching to try....

                      https://zenaq.com/en/tech_rgguide/

                      Very few anglers use baitcasting rigs for lurefishing in the sea in UK. I used to, but migrated back to spinning outfits a few years ago. I do use mainly baitcasting gear for lure fishing in fresh water - have no idea why I favour either/or......

                          Quite a few of those Plaisirs I'd like 🙂

                          Do you have the RG guide system on your's, if so, how do you find it?

                            @Giles Unfortunately, as I wrote, it's just a dream. Currently, there are only Sportex and Shimano. But if it works out this year, I'll definitely get the RG version with a Stella or Exist...

                              Ah, sorry. I missed that.

                              I think I "need" one of these: PA 93 Cast Master

                              If you "need" the jawbreaker" I may be able to pick one up in Japan for you next time I go. About 50% of European price. Let me know....

                                  Please do. I'll have a rod tube with me anyway. May as well fill it up 🙂

                                      My current Bass rods are all made by YAMAGA BLANKS......And I love them, they have worked really hard for me. But I could not resist the RG concept........

                                      It does mean that now I can lend my mates a decent rod when they need one.

                                      I'm going to Omam soon. Primarily GT fishing, but there are some great locations we can fish for smaller fish from the shore, my mate who has no light rods, can fish one of my YAMAGA's. He'll be chuffed....
