Fishing

Unsourced bit by an anon, saved here pending citations:

"Some of the best freshwater bass fishing in the world is believed to be had in the waters of Gatun lake. It is primarily stocked with peacock bass which was believed to have been imported from the rivers and streams of Venezuela. After their introduction into the waters of Gatun lake, the peacock bass encountered very little to no natural predators and has become extremely well adapted and populous, as well, to the surprise of many, carnivorous.

The lake is also populated by several other rarely spotted species including fresh water shark, kaymen's, and dogfish. It is a common practice on the waters of Gatun lake, when a Dog fish is caught, to kill the specimen and return it to the waters, as they are known for decimating fish populations by eating their eggs."

Hi

I have been trying to edit the Gatun Lake article with information from my webpage, however I run into a copyright glich with your admin while trying to post it. I own all the material at "http://www.panamafishingandcatching.com/" website including the sub domains such as "http://www.panamafishingandcatching.com/gatun.htm" since this is mine it seems I should be allowed to post it. I can be reached at captaintony@panamafishingandcatching.com or tarpontony@yahoo.com
