Our favorite peacock bass fishing destination is the mighty Rio Negro in Brazil! The Rio Negro (Black River) is the major N-S tributary that merges with the Rio Solimoes in Manaus to become the even mightier Amazon River
Jim starts out your ordinary Amazon peacock bass angler but becomes Gator Jim when he snags a full-grown Spectacled Caiman that isn’t the baby he thought might make cute pictures but a 7 to 8 foot adult monster!
More big peacock bass fishing pictures from our amazing January 2010 trophy fishing trip to the Rio Negro, Brazil deep in the Amazon Jungle!
The Rio Negro was pretty low with lots of visible giant sandbars during out January 2010 trip to the mighty Brazilian Amazon Jungle river! We were on the hunt for the giant Speckled Peacock Bass that call the Negro home!
It’s well known that the Rio Negro in Brazil produces the biggest Speckled Peacock Bass having produced the last two world records. We’ve traveled there twice with Ron Speed Jr’s Adventures to tackle these bruisers!
Peacock Bass aren’t the only fish you’ll catch from the Amazon River and tributaries. Piranha and other toothy fish are common along river channels.
