I agree. If bream weighed 10 lbs, it would not be safe to step in the water. Piranha are built like and probably distant cousins of bream. Mean little fighting fish.
A Brazos bull bream on ultra-lite or a fly rod was always a good tussle.
Pound-for-pound -- or, more accurately, ounce-for-ounce -- one of the toughest fighters in the river.
