This was a good day. I'm the one in the orange shirt. 17lb Peacock Bass, Amazon, Brazil.

This was a good day too.

I recognize that mug! Give me a call when you get your butt off the river.

WOW, very nice fish! It must have been great landing that one on a fly rod!

For me spring = fishing.. so after seeing that pic i am itching to get out there.

Wow never thought of that-what pattern did you use for those milks? I'd think something bib and bush, like say a #6 white wulff or bivisible-to imitate a mouse?

Both impressive catches-congrats!

Hey Dell

Great picture. Cool fish.
Don't they wear shoes down there?

Dell!,....Wow!, that's a "big-un'"!!!, there are some Peacocks in the Miami/Ft.Laud. area too, but To get a monster like that would be far and few between no doubt!!, I've only caught two small ones in the 4 lb. range. I bet he "bent your stick" in more ways than one!!!LOL

After seeing your "monster", I just had to post one of the many nice nice fish I've caught!

best regards, ~Doug

I saw this picture posted up at the local fly shop the other day, Dell! I was in there looking for reels, pretending like I wasn't a fishing idiot, so I pointed out your picture to try and get some small sense of street credit (or river credit I guess) Great Fish!
