Monster Snook And Beautiful Peacock Bass In South Florida: Video Added

[Shane Procell]

Tyler Rahmer (Bass Resource Forum member) from Maryland got his wish fulfilled this week. He wanted to fish while on vacation and catch a trophy fish. Mission Accomplished! Both of these beautiful fish were taken on top water plugs. The 18# fresh water snook took 7 minutes to land and the 7# peacock bass hit like a freight train. We fished a bout 6 hours and caught about 20 peacock and the snook. What a day! The video now appears on page two of this thread.

 

 

 

From earlier in the week. My personal best 5 1/2# peacock.

Already edited! Gonna hold onto this video for as long as possible before uploading to the Tube. Got the snook doing slow motion acrobatics. I think it is one of the best yet.

Snook definitely go airborn.  Not been the best snook season so far but I've caught a few 15-20#, killed them everday this week, mostly smaller ones.  People don't realize that there is an underwater calender and the snook look at at,  season opened yesterday and I didn't have 1 strike..........lol.

Wow, very nice. It's good to see someone's getting those peas. Where were they in relation to the bank? The past couple times I've went out, I've only seen a couple 2#ers in the shallows along with a few smaller ones.

The bigger fish were hanging on drops off ledges.

Man Shane I could have sworn you'd have a bigger Butterfly Peacock with the time on the water! What is the largest your client has landed?

 

I bet you client was excited!

Robert unfortunately I rarely get to target them. I usually don't fish with the client. This was the exception. My boat took a 7 pounder last week and a 6 1/2 pounder last year. The client was pretty excited.

[Bankbeater]

Those are some great looking fish!

[kingkong85]

Nice catches. I'm jealous.

Great to live in South Florida.  Beautiful peacock Shane, its amazing how they fight and how hard they hit a bait.  You know the second they hit its not another black bass but rather something special.  So glad they a coming back after the cold spell several years ago.

Here is the video of the 18# Snook hitting a top water plug and a 7# Peacock hitting the same plug. This video is made for pure enjoyment and in no way is advertiseing for any other purpose.
