Peacock Bass

Peacock Bass

There have been a pair of peacock bass in the pond in my backyard very busy making tons of babies. Now there are probably hundreds of inch sized babies all over the edge. I took a pole and a piece of bread and just barely dipped the line in for a second before a 12 inch bass grabbed hold. He then went into a prepared tank of clear water where I photographed him.
