What is the largest fish in the Florida everglades?
As far as I can find, the Tarpon is the Largest fish found in the Florida Everglades. The Tarpon can grow between 5 and 8 feet long, and weigh in between 80 and 150 lbs fully grown. The Great Barracuda follows closely behind, being recorded at 6.5 ft and 110 lbs. Below are photos of both fish.
