Peacock Bass Fishing in Amazon for a Week-Hunting for Big Peacocks on the Rio Curicuriari

I love peacock bass fishing in the Amazon jungle. On previous trips to the Amazon basin I heard rumors about giant three bar peacock bass that grow to over 20 pounds in size! Decided I wanted to go down to Brazil and see if they exist and if they are hard to catch. My friend Nate agreed to join me and we had an incredible week on the Rio Curicuriari fishing for peacock bass.
