Highlights of the week:

Every angler that comes to the Amazon has the dream of catching a big peacock bass over 20lbs. So imagine how thrilled Steve and his partner Michael got when they saw two monsters slowly cruising the shallows. With precise casts and perfect sight fishing conditions, both anglers put the flies where they needed to be; resulting in a historical double. Two monster fish over 20lbs of the Marie River!! 

What a perfect way to start our 2023 Season! Congratulations Michael and Steve!
