    The power of these fish was amazing…3 broken sticks in 5 days.

    This Cayman weighed over 1,000 lbs., that’s a 13lb. fish in his mouth that he decided to eat…..he wins.

    Mike…If you ever get the chance, go.

    Jason…The popper is an Enrico Puglisi design. I tied all the flies for the trip and purchased a couple of his kits which allowed me to assemble about two dozen of those flies.

    Zach…the Piranha was excellent eating, tasted a lot like Walleye.
    We did not get into any big Payara but they do have an intimidating mouth, even the small ones.
    The other angler shot/w fish is an Arrowana which offered unbelievable jumping/acrobatics. Really a great fish to hook up with.

    Thank you for the kind words to the new guy gentleman.

    That is just fantastic! Looks like a 100% killer trip! Thanks for the pics! What kind of planning was involved for the trip?

    Planning was pretty straight forward.
    Our intent on this trip was for big league top water action. I did the research and having read and heard about the Peacock followed that course.
    The important part was timing the trip in accordance with (like so many places) the water level. The objective is to fish late in the dry season when levels are down. There a literally thousands of these huge pools that have been disconnected from the river but are still accessible.

    We ended up fishing underneath a lot more than we thought we would but the top water was absolutely explosive.
    Pretty much a simple matter of doing one’s homework and talking with the right people.

    A picture is thousand words that takes less than a second while a thousand words is a picture that takes a month.
