What a banner day for Keith & Deb Maltais from N. J. Deb started the day off with the first of over 40 Peacock Bass caught on their Trip.
 
The couple caught fish at every spot we stopped mostly 2-3 lb. peacock bass.
Then once the sun came up bite got much better and fish got bigger.
 
As we moved into another area the action started again and around 11 am , it happened , Keith hooked into “Hawghunters’ 3rd biggest Peacock ever. His rod bent over the line started stripping and the chase was on. Every time this beast saw the boat he ran again and again.
Finally Keith after several minutes Keith boated this 8.1 lb. Male Peacock Bass.

Trophy 8.1 lb.

 
Within moments Deb’s rod went down in similar fashion, but broke off, what a disappointment. Never the less the action continued , and now it was her time to shine. After a nice struggle , and wrists hurting, she landed her 5 lber.
 
 
Today’s trip consisted of 6 fish over 4 lbs. 1- 5 and Keith’s Trophy 8 lb. Florida Butterfly Peacock Bass. The Peacock bass are hitting very well right now and “The Hawghunter”, Capt. Frank Carbone knows where to find them.
The only place to find them larger is the Amazon. My next trip is Nov. 10- 18, 2012 and I have ONLY 6 spots left if anyone is interested.
Today this couple from Jersey had a day to remember and for sure will be back again. Book “NOW” while there are still choice date’s left.
