Bass Mekanik Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 After a horrible day at school I was itching to catch my first peacock bass of the new year. I headed to a canal I knew was holding some hawgs as I had seem them a week earlier but could not get them to bite. Well today I was throwing my favorite peacock lure a beat up to hell gold x-rap. I caught a couple dink p's and largemouths none picture worthy. After fishing in the rain for an hour and a half I was rewarded with this peacock which weighed in at 5lbs 11oz. This is my biggest fish this year and my PB for a Peacock Bass. This particular peacock put up the best freshwater fight I ever had. Quote
Gotta Love It Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 I want to catch a Peacock bass too... I will be there in a couple of hours!!! BTW, did anyone ever say you looked like David Blaine the magician? Ohhh... I forgot, BEAUTIFUL FISH!!! Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted March 21, 2007 Super User Posted March 21, 2007 Beautiful fish...Love the colors!!! :o Quote
Bass Mekanik Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 I wish my fishing skills were up to par with David Blaine's magic. If only levitation were possible then I wouldn't need a boat. : Quote
Super User T-rig Posted March 21, 2007 Super User Posted March 21, 2007 Very cool man! 8-) Congrats to your PB peacock! Quote
The Unabasser Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 i bet it was a good fight...keep up the good work Quote
Fisherman Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Outstanding Peacock! They surely love that Xrap; that's my go-to bait for them... I've only caught two this year (2-4#) so I need to do some catching up. : Quote
Bionicman Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Nice!! No Peacock up here where I'm from but I can Dream!! Quote
New 2 Bass Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 That is a great fish. It must have shook the smack out of your xrap. We are gonna have to let you run the next FL Boys get together / Peacock hunt. Al Quote
Bass Mekanik Posted March 22, 2007 Author Posted March 22, 2007 The past few weeks I have been scouting around trying to find a good lake that holds peacocks but I haven't been that successful. The peacocks in the canals are on fire but finding them land locked is a problem for me. Google Earth has been my new best friend for finding peacocky (my new word) waters. I fished a few culverts today and got skunked but saw a few p's and countless mullet. I am going to try the weston area for new spots and might go up to Tradewinds Park to see if i can catch some this weekend. If anyone in Broward or Dade has any spots and needs a partner just hit me up. Quote
Anglin Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 give the C-4 and snapper creek a try i landed an 8 and a half pounder a little under a month ago. Quote
