When you think of Brazil, most people automatically think of going to the rainforest or to one of its well known festivals, the Carnaval. Those places and events are extremely nice, but there’s more to Brazil than those. If you’re a hardcore fisherman or just starting to learn how to reel in your first fish, then Brazil would be one of the best places on earth to fish in.

Just one of the best fishes to get in Brazil is the Peacock Bass; known for its ferociousness it’s a great challenge for the veterans and a baptism in fire for the newbies. Below is a short description of the said fish:

Called “tucunare” in Portuguese, the peacock bass is a born ambusher and one of the most ferocious freshwater fish you’ll find anywhere. Acrobatic brawlers on a line, they snap 30-lb. monofilament like thread, straighten saltwater hooks, mangle lures and send rods home in more pieces than you came with. They are almost exclusively diurnal and aren’t the least bit sun-shy, hitting most lures at the surface with explosive force. They’re not too choosey about baits, but landing them is guaranteed to be one of the toughest freshwater fights you’ll ever get in.

Mexico Bass Fishing Adventures will make your fishing trip as organized and as fun as possible. So, what are you waiting for? Time to bust out that inner fisherman in you and catch one of the most ferocious Bass out there: the Peacock Bass. Have a safe trip and Good Luck!
