Although its basic shape very closely resembles that of the Largemouth Bass, the Peacock Bass is not actually a member of the Bass family. It belongs to a family of fish known as "Cichlids ", one of that boasts more than 1,000 species worldwide and is well known to tropical fish enthusiasts. Like the largemouth bass, the peacock bass prefers to ambush unsuspecting pray from a stealthy vantage point and demonstrates a gluttonous appetite. The similarity ends there, however the peacock bass is much more eye appealing than its North American counterpart, colorfully adorned in varying shades of green, blue, orange and gold. Don't let this appearance fool you however. The Peacock Bass is much more aggressive that a Largemouth, often pursuing lures or fleeing prey the same size. The Peacock Bass routinely breaks line and destroys tackle.

Miami peacock bass typically average two to four pounds, but as seen in the picture above they are getting much larger. (6.4 lbs).

The Florida Everglades holds the record this year for the highest number of fish per person quoted be the Florida fish and game wildlife department. When you consider all the great lake and rivers in Florida that's impressive.

The best season for the glades is the same as Lake Okeechobee Nov. thru April. During the winter months your chances are better for catching as trophy Largemouth Bass. You fish for Largemouth bass in the open water canals and the heavy weeded cover of the flats especially during the spawn.
