My boat partner and I had several really good casts at an arapaima (piraricu) that I estimated at 100lbs in a lagoon. It stayed close enough to the boat and high enough in the water that we could site cast to it. Got one head turn and a short follow but it didn't seem very interested in eating. We also landed all four species of peacock bass plus a few hybrids, oscars, jacundas, cachorro, aruana, pirahna (white and blacks), pacu, and a couple others I can't remember the name.
