They get hit a lot, but I think the biggest Peacocks are in Miami.
 
I have caught Peacock Bass many places they are found (Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia, Puerto Rico, Panama, Hawaii) but in my opinion the ones in South Florida are the best looking overall even though they don't get huge. As with Peacocks everywhere, there is a lot of variety in how they look and no two are the same. Here are a few I caught last week there:

Awesome stuff, bro. I wish I could meet you as you had been close to our place in Naples, FL. To take advantage of you, I'd probably ask you to save the knives for our exhibits, haha... Much luck in your fishing endeavours.
 
Thanks, you too.

I'm back home in Texas now.
I realize. Hence my regret. We are right on I-75 on the other coast of FL, 1.5 h from Ft. Lauderdale.
 
Awesome catches Bassjedi Bassjedi , I would love to fish for Peacocks one day. I live in the north east and am a avid striped bass fisherman Myself. Thanks for sharing!
