Fishin' Reports from the Amazon
***NEWS FLASH***POTENTIAL NEW WORLD RECORD PEACOCK BASS!
Bob Daly reports:
On Feb 9, 2010 angler Bill Gassmann of Des Moines, Iowa, caught a potential World Record Peacock Bass weighing in at 28lbs. The old record was 27lbs caught by Doc Lawson on Dec 4 1994.
Gassmann was fishing a Luhr Jensen Big Game Woodchopper Slim in Clown coloration and was fishing a tributary of the Upper Rio Negro in the Brazilian Amazon.
Gassmann's guide, Aldeni "Elvis" Fonseca immediately knew the significance of the catch and urged Gassmann to return to the Mothership.
The peacock measured 37 inches long with a girth of 25 inches and is pending certification by the IGFA.
Groups are forming now for 2010 fall season!

"IT WAS ATRIP OF A LIFETIME"
Wow, what a fishing trip--couldn't have enjoyed myself any better! I thought the crew was great and especially John Sylvia made for an unforgettable trip. The meals were planned wonderfully and we really enjoyed all the work of putting together the beach cook-outs. We also can't say enough good things about our guide Arnold; he was always going above and beyond any limits--very helpful and easy to get along with. Heck of a nice guy!
Thanks for everything; it was a trip of a lifetime--not soon to be forgotten!!!

Chuck Mecam - hooked a locomotive strapped to a rocket!
A number of you have been asking what we expect the fishing to be like this year in the Amazon. Perhaps I can best answer that with a personal note from one fishin' expeditions client who just returned. 
"David, It absolutely was worth the wait!!!! By Monday, Al Rickert and I had decided we HAD to come back - can't do that just once. We had a marvelous, thoroughly enjoyable and eyeopening time. Attached are 3 photos: my first peacock, a 17 lb; a 21 lb and 24 lb that I caught. Al and I caught a total of 230 peacocks on the trip and had 6 that went 20 to 24 lbs. My description of hooking a peacock from the mid teens and up is that you hooked a locomotive strapped to a rocket! Talk to you soon. Kindest regards to all.
Chuck Mecum"
