Although there are more trophy peacock bass in the Rio Marié than anywhere else in the world, it remains a challenging feat – and a worthy accomplishment – to actually land a monster fish weighing in at over 20 pounds. Many more of these giants are hooked every week than landed, as they are powerful brutes who know how to break leaders, straighten hooks, and destroy tackle.
To honor those intrepid anglers who captured a true trophy during their time at Rio Marié, we have created a special standing for them to be recognized: The 20 Pounder Club. Those anglers who manage to land a peacock bass over 20 pounds will receive honorary membership in The 20 Pounder Club, including a special series of hats, and a hall of fame induction, displaying photos and brief anecdotes about big fish of the past.
