Super User soflabasser Posted August 7, 2018 Super User Posted August 7, 2018 I plan to visit South America to fish for peacock bass,arapaima, payara, and other hard fighting exotic fish. Have caught smallmouth bass and many other species of black bass,they don't fight anywhere near what a equal sized South Florida peacock bass does so I am looking forward to catching a speckled peacock bass from the Amazon. 1 Quote

Tim Kelly Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 No bass here, so I'm happy travelling to the US, Canada and Spain to get my fix. 3 Quote

You are very fortunate that you have visited most of your bucket list places to fish, I have only begun my travels and have a long list of places to visit.I plan on fishing each continent ( excluding Artarctica) for fish I have only seen in pictures and videos. Me and my better half both have good professions so money is not a issue and I will gladly spend thousands of dollars to catch the fish on my life bucket list. Quote
Tim Kelly Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Poor Artarctica, it must feel deliberately snubbed. Quote
diversity210 Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 I already listed the lakes Id love to fish, but I also wouldn't mind fishing the Amazon. Probably will never happen, but I like the though. I think it would be fun Quote
Hillbilly Bennett Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 I consider myself lucky to get to fish Guntersville, Dale Hollow and Chickamauga a couple times each year and, man, are they awesome. Guntersville is hands down my favorite and I’ve never had an “unsuccessful” trip down there. My PB in my pic came on a topwater plug on Guntersville. 8-1. Dale and Chick are a close 2nd, As good as anywhere when they are on but as tough as anywhere when they are off. Dale has some giant bass and Walleye too. My two bucket list waters would be the Upper Mississippi around La Crosse, WI and Sam rayburn. I’d love to hit Texas in the late winter/ early spring and froggin for a boat full of 2-3 pound bass on the Mississippi just sounds awesome! 1 Quote

Yeah man, that place just looks amazing. It’s supposed to have some great Largemouth fishing to go with the smallies too. 1 Quote
