Those are nice. Thank you for sharing. The peac-ck bass are about the size of the largemouth we catch in California. I love it when they take poppers on the surface. They get so mad!

Thanks Blanca for posting these in my stead. I hope people enjoy this slice of another Latin American country.
The Peac-ck were not that large and a blast on my 9' 4wt flyrod! They do strike with a vengeance!!

Glad you enjoyed them Skipjack

Thanks for taking us along Ifly and Blanca. Loved the Buddha and Einstein. I really want to check Panama out someday. Like the hat Rick.

Seriously though, that looks like a great specimen. I've only seen pictures of them (and in museums) but that one looks spectacular. Are they all around or was this an unusual find?

I marveled at one in Yosemite this weekend but it was nothing like what you're holding.

I did not use an outfitter or guide. I simply like to explore. If you U2U me I may be able to hook you up with someone who can "guide" you.
