Giant River Otters of the Rio Negro
A short video of a family of Giant River Otters swimming, playing and calling along a channel of the Rio Negro, Amazon, Brazil. River Otters are a top predator of the Amazon basic with adults up to 6 feet tall!
Sometimes fishing the Amazon is open water and sometimes you have to go right into the jungle after the fish! During our 2012 trip, end of February and early March, unseasonable rains upriver had the Rio Negro running high and up into the jungle!
Tony P videos Terri catching a small peacock bass on a big topwater doing the woodchopper rip early in the morning. Note the guide calls the fish out before it even hits the plug somehow spotting it in the dark brown-black waters of the Rio Negro
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!
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!

This is Dan Kimmel reporting in. I haven’t been back to the mighty Amazon River, specifically the Rio Negro, since February 2012 and I sure do miss the jungle and those amazing peacock bass!
