Piranhas and Alligators  
We set out with strips of beef and home made rods to fish for some piranha.
They are pretty tricky to catch. They can eat the meat from the hook within seconds without swallowing the hook itself. You have to be quick to whip them out of the water. We clearly did not have the knack - we caught none between us.
Our guide, however, caught several and cooked them for lunch. They tasted good.
Jeremy did catch a tiny alligator on our night time alligator hunt.
