Pirarucu
The largest scale river fish in the world, the pirarucu is one of the most coveted trophies in sport fishing. The red-tailed giant can reach 3 meters and go over 150 kilos, providing a real tug of war with the angler. A long and tiring struggle to catch it and, of course, to release it. Pirarucu lives in lagoons and fishing requires a lot of patience and technique.
