In singapore,we get 10lb max but normally,we get 2-3lbers.Today I got 4 of them.The run is soo sweet and temensis fight twice as hard as other peacocks! :D
If you wanna catch one of these use Top water plugs.. it doesn't have to be so fast like this guy.. He's just in their backyard, but you can get them in the States!! By rock banks, water management locks, and also bridges...
iIf you catch one in the states contact wildlife and fisheries immediately. last week a school of tilapia got into a louisiana waterway and the wildlife and fisheries killed all the life in the area. Certain fish will take over an area quickly
Went fishing for these when I was in Brazil this August. It was at a lake about 1hrs drive from a town called Pompeu. Had the best 2 days fishing of my life.just used a simple rattler and it worked real well. It takes a while to find them and catch them but it is well worth it.
only bass ive ever caught in my life was a black sea bass... then i got all mad becuase my friend caught a largemouth.... funny thing was i told him there was a bass under all that trash....... LMAO
When I lived in Venezuela we used to go fishing in lake Guri at the mouth of the Orinoco river all the time. The biggest I've pulled out of there was 15.5 lbs.
dats a nice fish... i was wondering anyone if these peacock bass is the hardest fighting bass like do they fight better than striped bass and smallmouth bass!!!
Great job! I'm not exactly a fisherman, but having the guts to release a monster like that... I am all about catch and release. I am a fish enthusiast, and that made me feel good. 5 stars!
I was going to get really angrey if you guys didnt let that big one go well done you guys greast cattch the highlight of the video...is...letting the big bitch goo WELL DONE 5 stars for you!
I lived in Panama for awhile and got to fish for peacock bass...best FISHING EVER! Caught around 100 of those suckers a day...I have a five pounder stuffed upstairs(I was only 9 when I caught it). My dad has a 10/11 pound.

It's nice to see him using lighter tackle, most guys use like 40 to 80 lbs. test to haul these guys in. This is more fun.

Oh and the best lures to use in the world.
1. Gold super Spook
2. Clown Chopper
3. White spinner bait
4. Rattle Trap
5. Stick with something that makes noise.
these fish will eat anything that gets in their territory. but don't be fooled. They are the BAIT FISH of Lake guri, rio orinoco, and the amazon.
try catching a 20 lb. Payara. Good luck
