Thank you Jim, I will do my best to get down there for a couple of days!
We moved our fishing trip to Thursday, so now I have to wait an extra day!

I'm from Colombia and after I watched the Geobass video, I want to head back! however I got the point of the aventure, but you don't need to go deep in the jungle to fish for peacock bass, you just need to get to the river and that's it, peacock bass or tucunare (as we call them) are everywhere and trust me! bigger than those in the video!!
BTW $6.500 for nine days???????????? wowwww just come with me to Colombia and get me some beer and I'll take you fishing for nothing. I usually go with a local fisherman who I know about 10 years ago and I pay him $40.000 pesos or $20 bucks for a complete day in his boat, plus I get him some beer and I get the lunch for everyone. At the end of the day, I'll spend around $50 USD
let' see: 9 days fishing will be $450 for fishing in a boat everyday including lunch and beer. Hotel and food for 9 days.....let's say $500 if you don't want to go fancy or $800 if you do, total: $950 - $1250...
Thinking about it...I can create a fishing guide company, taking people to Colombia for peacock bass! let's say $3.000!!! I also have fished in the Colombian Amazon jungle....$4.500 for that one, there is so many threads around, everything can kill you!
I'll think about it...fishing guide company.....quitting my job.....go fishing everyday...yep...why not? Interesting. LOL. My price was everything. Plane, vaccinations, tips, guides, drink, you name it. That was entire expense. I am up for Adventure, but if I went to Colombia I would need to add life insurance to the trip.

Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

I am still smiling from the trip. I didn't get to chase any bonefish or do any saltwater fishing but while snorkeling we did see a very tame pod of them that let me get right up close with the gopro! I'll try and post the video when I get home tomorrow.
