Bow hunting or fishing would take skill, harder than just droping in a line and hook. :P Though I would guess any plec's you caught with a hook would be more a snag, I wouldn't think they would go after meat bait. But ./shrug don't know much about plecs that size. What type do you think they were?Guppies:
Hi-fin pepper Cory's, Black Cory's, Long Fin Golden Aneus, Swordtails, some lyretail(RREA's, Red, Albino Koi, Red & Gold Tux), Different types of BN plecos(albino, calico, long fin, blue eyed short & long fin)
Mystery Snails, Yellow Shrimp, CPDs

I bet if you were in the right area they would eat a meat as a bait. They probably would eat any bait with a good smell too. I've seen my big one(17"+) snack on the feeder fish pieces leftover from the other fish.

Edibility
Fair to good, but difficult to clean and best to cook 'in the shell,' after which the white flaky meat can be slid out. (taken from Florida fish and game site...)In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

They are thick down near Buffalo Bayou in the Heights. Anytime I went I would see at least a dozen 2'+ sized individuals and could collect 1" juveniles by the bucketful in shallow water.In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

I dunno about that. When I lived in San Antonio many would get stranded on the banks of the SA river and the dead ones smelled so horrible. I would not want them anywhere near my garden.Originally posted by Fancyfish View Post
The older plecos do eat fish. I saw a video on youtube of a pleco smacking down a piranha for a piece of fish. I think they also eat sick but still alive fish.Originally posted by BrAin View Post
plecos are so common now in local waters that I am surprised people still buy the common pleco from stores.Originally posted by mnemenoi View Post
I need a couple of tiny ones though. The ones I got last fall are now about 6 inches, and although they still do a great cleaning job, they are getting too big for my tanks.Comment
