Looks like you had a great time!

Congratulations on your trip. Florida is a great place to fish inshore, offshore, and freshwater. The clown knifefish is beautiful. What did you catch it on?

I was using shiners for the Knife fish. 1/8oz pinch weight . to keep it down and slow paddled by the weed lines near the channels. Caught 6-7 all close to this size and had a few more that got off. It was amazing. That was the biggest Peacock and largemouth but even the small peacocks fight HARD!

Peacock bass is on my short list, wish they would stock some lakes here in Texas with them.

Peacock bass is on my short list, wish they would stock some lakes here in Texas with them. Might get too cold in N Texas. But they have Tilapia in some lakes south and if they live surely peacocks would. Would be cool. Peacock bass even suffer some substantial losses from cold water in South Florida. I lived there 20 years, and saw the population build and get decimated more than once. Dade County was more hospitable to them than even Broward or Palm Beach - they were that close to the edge of frequent cold-weather kill-off. So, I'd say Texas is a no-go. Trust me, any lake stocked with Tilapia should result in a criminal charge against those who dumped the invasive species. They WILL displace native sunfish. Oscars are far worse, and slimy as a monster in ghostbusters.
