The Mighty Arapaima

Sixty-two inches long, three-hundred and thirty pounds, no not a boxer, its the Mighty Arapaima. As one of the most powerful fish in the world it stands as a target for some of the world's best fishermen.

These fish aren't meant to be caught and placed on your wall, but act for many fishermen as a token of achievement before they are released back in to the waters.

Below you will see the struggle it takes for an entire team of fishermen to catch this gnarly beast.
