guess this guy has never heard of catch and release? do you eat cat too?

everyone who posts pictures of their catches in a hosue or sumthing always gets bad reactions from ppl like you

If you didnt know selective harvesting is helpful when it comes to average bass weight

Also we are higher ont he food chain and we have every right in the world to eat fish as long as its legal

Im sorry if i sound a little harsh but ive seen countless posts like this in the past and have remained silents on the matter

O and by the way Peacock bass taste amazing

Anyone tell me more about peacok bass ? Does North Carolina have them and if so where can you find info on them (Seem to always get your basics with Google)

I don't think you'll find them in N.C.  Too cold, but that's what they said about Palm Beach County several years ago.

you're not going to find peacocks in north carolina, they're from the amazon, they're not gonna like your weather down there too much.  Sry dude, gonna have to take a trip to catch those bad boys

Darn Guess ill stick with my Striped bass.

We have them in the U.S also.

Nothing wrong with stripers great fighting fish, wish we had them here.

If you ever make it to south Florida for peas, you should try spillway snook, that will test your ability and equpment as well. I can show you places to catch lm, peacock, snook and tarpon all in the same place.

I've found anything bright works really well such as gold kastmasters and white shad Bomber model As.  Peacocks in Hawaii are like Trevally, gotta work the bait at a consistent speed and if you get one following, work the lure even faster!  It may be the same for you out in Florida.

Pretty much, when the peas are aggressive they hit about anything.

They keep coming after that lure till they get it, where as a largemouth may just swim away.

Do you have much freshwater fishing in Hawaii, I've never been there. We have a time share in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and it's advertized as the same latitude as Hawaii, would imagine the fishing is terrific there.

There's plenty enough but only cause most concentration is on saltwater.  You can fish for smallmouth in just about every stream just as long as its not brackish or infested with Jewel banded cichlids or tilapia. (this is on Oahu btw)  If you are just interested in just peacocks then head on out to Lake Wilson in Wahiawa.  I have yet to go out to Kauai but i've heard of stellar freshwater fishing over there as well due to lack of the tropical aquarium fish infesting the waters.

How did the peacocks get to Hawaii, were they stocked as done here in south Florida?  I thought they were native only to South America.

That's pretty interesting.

yes they were indeed stocked like smallies
