The Amazon is the motherland for peacock bass and mecca for us peacock bass fishermen!

Hey thanks a lot Carlos! I still love our Florida peacocks too! The trip was a lot of fun. I hope you could gather that through the video...that was the idea anyways. Oh yeah and I apologize about the profanity but you just get caught up in the moment, forget your filming etc...I also prefer RAW unedited footage myself. It makes you feel like you are there. Anyone can lay a soundtrack over a video and make it look interesting. I am glad you enjoyed it and I will keep them coming! Steve

I really enjoyed that video and those are some really nice fish. They do not fight like that down here in Miami. I guess its the Amazon that has mutated the fish to fight like it does there. I still love my Florida Peacock bass though. Good job!

I fish with a group of Brazilians down there...the Amazon Prince is one of our boats and the boat I was on is called the Iemenja. The Brazilian owned outfits have access to different rivers like Uatama & Jatapu. The American outfitters down there do not have the proper arrangements with the locals to fish these rivers. I am going back next October with a group of Americans. If you would like to go please let me know and I will tell you all about the trip. Tight lines, Steve

Awesome video Steve! I love when you catch the little Tambaqui. Look forward to fishing with you again
