Freshwater Fishing

This One - talks about the introduction of bass in the 50s to Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, and the decimation of the local fish and a variety of bird that is now extinct in the area. Mentions the hope for tourism that never materialized based on fishing. Says that 10-20# largemouths exist and are spearfished by some tourists, that locals eat and catch a lot of perch (also introduced, but later)
