Re: Peacock bassn
Back in the 70s and 80s I fished for these in Gatun Lake in the Panama Canal. I never saw anyone else fishing for them and the government was doing PSAs to get people to fish for them and eat them because they were overpopulated.
I fished one day with my wife's uncle and we tried to find a lure that they wouldn't hit out of our tackle boxes, unsuccessfully.
Back then you could buy red snapper (pargo) in the grocery store for 39 cents a pound but pork chops (chuleta) were $3.00 a pound.
