Larry's Peacock Bass Log

The following data represents an accurate accounting of Larry Larsen's personal best catches as he travels the world in search of peacock bass (PB). It is updated after each trip.

  1. 8LarryLarsen24# LarryLarsen20#Capt.PeacockCatch Photo From My Most Recent Trip - When & Where: December 2011, Brazil's upper Rio Negro while fishing with the Captain Peacock yacht operation. These two fish weighing 22 pounds (L) and 24 pounds (R) were both taken on the same day using a Tiger-colored 6-inch Pavon Prop topwater plug with new Daiichi Bleeding Bait #D98Q treble hooks. The 22 was caught 30 feet off a very flooded lagoon timber point and the 24 pounder (which was my 30th peacock over 20 pounds) hit the surface plug about 20 feet off a low-rise sandbar in the middle of the big river. High water conditions made for slow fishing but my guide came through for me on the last day of my trip.
  2. No. of PB over 10 pounds = 1,866
  3. No. of PB "Teeners" (13#s to 19#s) = 584
  4. No. of PB over 20 pounds = 30 (in 13 different watersheds; Brazil - 28, Venezuela - 2)
  5. Total No. of Trips after PB = 76 (incl. 54 to Brazil)
  6. Trips to Waters with Grande (3-bar) PB = approx. 57
  7. Countries Fished for PB = 6  - Brazil, Venezuela, Peru, Colombia, Panama, USA (Hawaii & Florida)
  8. First PB Trip = October 1988 Lake Guri, Venezuela
  9. Largest PB = Two 25-pounders, one on the lower Rio Unini, Brazil on Black/Orange Woodchopper in November, 2002 and the other on Rio Caures, Brazil on a Giant Fire Tiger Woodchopper in October 2007
  10. Largest butterfly PB = 10.5 pounds (IGFA World Record for 7 years) caught in March 1994 on Rio Branco tributary, Brazil on Woodchopper
  11. Largest PB "double" on one plug = 30 pounds (17.0#er and 13.0#er on parrot-colored Woodchopper in February 2003 on upper Rio Unini, Brazil
  12. Largest "double" with partner = 44.5 pounds (Larry's 25#er and Ruede Wheeler 19.5#s) in November 2002 on Rio Unini, Brazil
  13. Longest PB = 39 inches (a 22.5#er on a minnowbait caught in Rio Pasimoni, Venezuela lagoon in Feb. 2002)
  14. Best day for no. of "Teeners" = 13 in November 2006, on upper Rio Unini, Brazil
  15. Best week for "Teeners" = 25 in Feb. 2003 on Rio Unini, Brazil
  16. Best week for PB over 15 pounds = 18 in March 2002 on Rio Cuini, Brazil
  17. Highest number of PB in one day = 67 on Rio Agua Boa, Brazil in the early 1990s when size didn't matter.
  18. Highest number of PB in one week = 415 on Rio Agua Boa, Brazil in the early 1990s.
  19. No. of PB World Records (Line Class) = 7 set on Rio Pasimoni, Venezuela; Rio Curimoni, Venezuela; Rio Amazon, Peru in the 1990's (4 remain active)
  20. LarryLarsen20#Capt.PeacockToughest Adversary: A dolphin grabbed my "double" catch that I had hooked on December 2, 2011 on a topwater plug three times and moved off with them only to let go after seeing it could not remove them from my plug. I finally got the plug to the boat with both of the 2-pound peacock attached and their gory tails revealed the dolphin teeth scrapes. The dolphin got away.
  21. Biggest Snake Ever Seen: The highlight of a February 2011 trip to the Bita River in Colombia was spending 15 minutes face-to-face with the 21-foot, 300 pound anaconda and surviving! Here, the huge monster snake is inspecting my topwater lure just beneath him. (I was relatively safe in a boat while snapping over 100 images!) 
  22. Inducted Into Fishing Hall of Fame -  February 1999 Hayward, WI
