Monster 16lb Peacock Bass Unini River Brazil October 2006

So we arrive at the fishing area on the Unini River in Brazil around 9am in the morning after waking many hours earlier to catch a charter plane into The Amazon. We get to the camp, gear up and head out for the first day's fishing. in LESS THAN FIFTEEN MINUTES my father hooks into this HUGE 16lb grande tucunara peacock bass! What a start to the trip!! Where did we find out about this trip? We went with Alan Zaremba, a South Florida fishing guide. Check his sites at http://www.youtube.com/worldwidepeacockbass and http://www.floridapeacocks.com What a great experience!!

is that blood all over the fish when your weighing it or is it just color?

[scudderb]

That is actually JUST COLOR. Both the male and the female are EQUALLY colorful with the greens, bright yellow and red. The bright red is specifically around the gill plate!

Real smart comment there. The only thing you have is an 87-pound vagina.

[scudderb]

It might be hard for you to take the news...but based on your comments, you DEFINITELY have a vagina. Sorry pal...

oh ok i just thought it was bleeding everywhere. beautiful fish just pisses me off when people catch fish and rip the hook out when it swallows and it bleeds everywhere.
