      Re: Gigantic Placo found in a bayou

      Braes Bayou over near Holcomb in the medical district has several large plecos in the concreted areas. Several years back I was running some electrical circuits to some rooftop AC units on a building next to Braes Bayou and saw schools of what I thought were catfish down in the bayou below. When I went down at lunch to check them out I saw that they were common plecos...dozens of them.

      What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

          Don't know the exact address. South of Fannin and west of Holcomb, there's a section of the bayou that has a concrete channel. Hard by is a two-story building that was, at the time, an MD Anderson-sponsored day care center/school.

            Guppymax here on HFB and I went on a "safari" in September of '06, saw a few pretty large plecos. Here's a thread about it:
