There's a pet store here in Orange County called PreHistoric Pets that has both of those swimming around. Every once in a while someone will catch either one from the local regional park lakes, last time I think it was a redtailed catfish from lake Perris.

Just wondering if you eat them, what do they taste like?

Hello Mel,
What is that reel you have there, looks good but unfamiliar

Great pics Mel - thanks for sharing.
A 100lb pirarara would be a beast!
Looks like an Accurate Boss (500N?) - nice rig indeed. ;)
Cheers, Justin
