Flatdog, I really want to go to the Pantanal. My uncle went at least once and he caught some nice fish (probably not that difficult there).

I saved your tips on a text file, I hope I will look for this note in the future

A "cousin" of the piranha was found in some lakes here in the Ceara state.

... but if I want to catch a piranha I really need to go freshwater fishing

Yup you will they have really BIG fish up there pacu I think that is what they call them just a giant catfish to me caught on the aragua river at 267kg !!!!
Then there was another fish that i enjoyed catching which is a game fish had adapposed fin with great big long cannie teeth top and bottom beautiful pink fresh to eat like a salmon, grew to about 10kg great on lite tackle.

Hummm... I don't know which catfish is that since there are a few catfish species in Pantanal that are pretty big

Pacu is a round fish common there

I think you're talking about the "cachorra"
