Elusive Arapaima
- 0lakes
This is probably the oldest and most cunning Arapaima you can ever encounter. The local legends say that this monster is the evil spirit of Lake Maku-Maku, who has lived there since time immemorial. Anyone who tried to catch it failed at best, and at worst — disappeared altogether! They say neither tridents, nor nets, nor strong tackle can take it on. However, there is a way for a brave angler to land this ancient fish!
