Seventh Day: Fishing for Piranha

July 3
Redbelly Piranha, we caught a lot of these fish.
Today is our last full day here, and I decide to go fishing in the morning, then hunting for caiman at night. We set up a long fishing net like the native people do, then try line fishing with just a stick, line and hook with bait. We try chicken first, then fish...and most everyone catches something (except me), usually piranha! You have to wear closed toe shoes to go fishing because sometimes the fish come off the line before getting put in the fish bucket and those little teeth are very sharp!

Watch out for those teeth! Carnivores, definitely.
Everywhere you look there are tons of little fish!

Juan Senior catches a large catfish for our dinner with a spear.
