The Powerful PEACOCK BASS
Peacock bass by nature are aggressive and downright belligerent. It is a fish so powerful that it can destroy tackle and straighten hooks. The
fiercest fighting fish in the world will smash and tangle lures, even break them apart, and then give you the battle of your life.
It is impossible to exaggerate the strike and fight of this colorful gamefish. The larger it gets, in contra-distinction to its North American
cousins, the better it fights. The fish almost always jumps the second it is hooked, and after a head-shaking leap or two, they make an
incredible run. Even a 4 or 5 pounder can wear a person out, and they probably grow to over 30 pounds.
ARGENTINA DORADO
The Ibera Marsh is a vast sytem of crystal clear creeks, flowing rivers, and lakes covering an area twice the size of the Everglades. The marsh is full of fish resembling gold king salmon with bad teeth.
Dorado are exceptionally plentiful in all of the three million acres of the Ibera Marsh. They share this huge wetland with freshwater
crocodiles, caybarra, more than a hundred varieties of birds, and a few hardy natives. But the reason that there are so many of them (ranging
in size from one to fifty pounds) is the clear water. |
