Always wanted to catch some peacock bass!  Looks like a ton of fun with those brutes!

Nice job on the peas! What lure did you use?

Thanks guys. PJ, I used a spoon, which normally is not supposed to be worked so fast, but that's what they hit.

Nice!

Both peacocks and snakehead are on my species wish list.

Btw, I've rigged the spoon like this, replaced the nasty treble with a single hook that I filed off the barb from. It makes the catch/release as humane as possible; they get lip-hooked and it slips right out.

I wonder if they will live in my freshwater pond? I would have to feed them

Cooooolllll! Sounds like a blast. We have Peacock's here, but they's all locked-up in private waters for the tour-i. We have Snakeheads of the H. Saipans variety, but they specialize in providing restaurant and construction labor.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

They say they are only surviving North to Palm Beach county. Gets too cold where you are.

The piers and beaches are swamped with tourists right now.  >:(  This residential area lake allows me to get my fishing fix away from the crowds. (Too bad I won't eat fish from these waters though.)
