My friend who lives in Brazil said he has seen 24 kg Peacock Bass at the local fish market. It is about 52.8 lb.

Man a world record fish for sale at the fish market!!!!!!!! 52.8 lbs would have crushed the current all tackle world record of 27 lbs!!!!!

Nice report!! I would love to get away and catch some of those beautiful bass. How much does a trip like that cost you?

yeh....visiting local fish market is truly fun. you can find all stypes of fish you have never seen before and they are giagantic :eek2:
Fish called "PIRARUKU" is a ancient fish that has a lung. Piraruku is a well adpated fish in all types of water, espcially in muddy water. Thus, it developed lung on their body. It surface to breath 2 or 3 times a day.

Why top water only? Because, it is so easy to catch with other lures that submerge under water. It is like you are using a live SHAD on fall season.

One place I truly want to go is CUBA. Spectacular fishing over there. I only heard about it but, one of those days.....^^

Man what a killer report :D .
15 years ago I read an article about the Peacock Bass in the Amazon River. That is a dream of mine to go down there some day to fish. Beautiful fish and aggressive fighters. Keep the pixs coming.
