I saw a few nice 3" to 5" Peacock Bass in a store last week. It occured to me that I believe I've seen guys fishing for these in South America. These are way too big for even me.
 
The big peacock bass are found in Brazil and Peru mainly. You can however catch peacock bass in south florida from miami and further south. The big peacock's in florida are about half the size or less of the big ones from south america though. Hopefully when I'm in Miami in a few weeks I will be bringing a few back to Texas for my tank ~Trent
