Javi Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Hey guys, One of my good friends just bought a house in Homestead so I decided to make the trip down from Sunrise and fish for some Peas with him. We were fishing with live shiners (my first time using live bait for bass). Having never caught a Peacock before I was pretty surprised by how hard they hit! Anyways, here are some pictures of a few of the ones we caught. 2 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted December 9, 2015 Super User Posted December 9, 2015 Such pretty fish. On my bucket list of "things to catch" some day. 'Course I want to catch the monsters in the Amazon.... Quote

Super User BassinLou Posted December 9, 2015 Super User Posted December 9, 2015 Yeah, Homestead holds some nice bass. Looks like your buddies backyard flooded a bit with all the rain we had this week huh? Quote
Super User soflabasser Posted December 10, 2015 Super User Posted December 10, 2015 Congratulations on catching your first Peacock Bass!They definitely fight harder than a equal sized Largemouth Bass. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted December 12, 2015 Global Moderator Posted December 12, 2015 Congrats! I just caught my first peacock bass this past year as well. Such a cool fish and very intense fights when you get one on. Just made me want to go to the Amazon for the big ones even more! Quote
wytstang Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Congrats I was born and raised in Homestead/Florida City and yes they have some nice size bass down there. 1 Quote
Ohio Archer Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Fished for them once in a while when I was stationed down there. Airport lakes was loaded with them. Also, caught so many while in Panama that we had to put our rods down and take a break. Gatun Lake was unreal for catching a couple hundred a day. They hit anything and everything we threw at them.
