I've always wondered how these fish that aren't native to Fl. became common in that area. Did a pet shop owner toss a bunch of exotics into the streams, rivers and lakes or what? Iguanas, pythons, cichlid...Great video. I love nonstop fish catching!

Irresponsible pet owners don’t do their research and then release them into the ecosystem when they outgrow the tiny tanks people try to keep them in. The peacock bass were introduced by FWC to control other populations.
