I had a trip a couple of years ago up the Amazon river deep into the jungle. We went fishing one day. We stayed in the river, but a couple of the crew from the boat went back into this overgrown spot with nets. Well they came back with about fifteen plecos! All of them HUGE! That night we had Arrowanna and paranha filets, and pleco soup! Oh man, I couldn't bring myself to try it. They had just cut those babies up into big hunks and cooked them, heads, fins, guts, everything. The crew were the only ones to eat the soup. It was like watching ravinous dogs. They would kind of suck the meat and junk from the skin/armor, even out of the heads. Man my skin is crawling just remembering it

But anyways, yeah, I've seen some biggies before!

Sometimes it's really hard to eat animals you've kept as pets. I remeber when I ate my first dog... :sick:
