I’ve fished for peacock bass three times in Brazil and once in Florida and have probably spent far more time reading about them and talking about them than I have in the jungle. They were our first exotic species in an exotic location and really jumpstarted our love of fishing travel. They also made me consider tackle in a new way – as they tested every aspect of our gear in a way that other freshwater species had not.
We’re still trying to decide when we’ll go back to South America – in the meantime check out what we’ve published about this amazing group of cichlids:
