This was a small peacock bass that was caught in the Monocacy River. A friend of mine, his son and I were fishing the Monocacy in late September. His son was using a small jig head with a 2 inch grub. He managed to catch this peacock bass not once but twice. We called MD DNR and let me know about it. It certainly was a shock.
A peacock bass in cold water?
ReplyDeletecertainly a hobbyist could not create it and let the river ...This is a most explosive fish in tropical inland waters!
Viva the peacock bass!

Joao Nicacio first let me say that I am sorry I missed this comment until now. My apologizes. Second, we were shocked to see it as well. At first my friend's son thought it was a yellow perch until I corrected him. I am guessing it is dead now given our below freezing temps here.
