A rare and immensely powerful mahseer of southern India's Cauvery river system, long regarded as one of the ultimate freshwater sport fish. Specialists fish large baits and big lures in deep, fast runs and rocky pools, often in remote terrain. Now critically endangered, it should be handled with great care and released, so think conservation first.
Typical size: Typically 10 to 30 kg; trophy fish exceed 50 kg. Record (approx.): approx. 60 kg (varies by region).
