Florida Peacock Bass Fishing Part II - LOAD WARNING

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
deeep fried sound intresting.... we gotta do that next time... catch and fried!!!!

There's plenty of 3 to 5 inch PB fries swimming around the lake now. They should be perfect frying size by next spring. Catch and fried or grilled!!!
 
This dude was the toughest to land this year. I thought I hooked up with my record fish. Turned out it was hooked by the gills and was swimming broadside against the reel in.

The following were much easier to catch with the digicam, that is.

A white heron flying off with a baby duck

The heron landing on the other side with the baby still in its beak

A turtle enjoying the sun. Normally they are skittish and dives in the water when approached

Don't really know what bird this is. But it looked cool....

This would have been a real "monster catch". Showed no interests in the twitchbait, rapalas, or Jed's lures

PB as bagoong is even more promising!

My wife thinks newly free swimming fries would make good bagoong. I tell her it would be very expensive bagoong, more expensive than caviar...:ROFL:
 
Exactly!:ROFL:
 
No particular target today. So just went around the lake on my bike. A couple of kids on one of the beaches were pointing out some PB beyond the swimming area. Could not see them but made a cast anyway in the direction they were pointing at.

Caught my first Large Mouth in over 3 years on the first cast of my modified Husky lure:)

Caught a 12 inch Female PB on subsequent casts. A pic just before it was released today:D
