In this video I show how to catch big Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus) in the Florida Everglades. I use crappie jigs, trout magnet jigs, and cut bait to catch them. Many people travel to South Florida to fish for these fish since they fight hard for their size and can be caught using panfish fishing techniques. Lots of people keep Oscar as aquarium pets since they are beautiful and have an interesting personality. Oscar are native to Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, French Guiana, Ecuador, and other South American countries. I have been fishing these places in the Everglades for over 25 years. I highly recommend fishing here if you enjoy catching lots of fish on artificial lures. Near the end of the video I show a +8 foot alligator that got very close to where I was fishing.
