The sixth week of the season brought another shift to the Rio Marié as water levels slowly began to rise. Fishing demanded consistency all week, with tougher stretches requiring anglers and guides to stay focused and keep adjusting their approach.
Several returning friends of the Rio Marié joined the group, bringing experience with this fishery into conditions that didn't always make opportunities easy to find. The week's rhythm required commitment, but persistence eventually opened the door to meaningful encounters.
By the end of the week, the group had created a collection of very different stories. Some were defined by consistent trophy-class fish, others by the remarkable colors that make peacock bass so distinctive, and one experience brought two generations of the same family together on the water.

|Unforgettable Moments of the Week
Thiago Fuchs and Two 21 lb Peacock Bass
In a week when fishing demanded consistency, Thiago Fuchs found his opportunities and made them count.
He landed not one, but two 21 lb peacock bass during the same week, an impressive result under demanding conditions.
Finding one fish of that class can define a trip. Repeating the feat in the same week showed the consistency required to capitalize when the right opportunities finally appeared.
Persistence and consistency are the name of the game for giant peacock bass. Thiago really knows this!
Warren Bass and an Exceptional Display of Color
Not every memorable peacock bass is defined only by its measurements.
Warren landed one of the most strikingly colored peacock bass seen on the Rio Marié. The vivid coloration immediately set the fish apart and made it one of the week's visual highlights.
It was another reminder that these fish's appeal extends beyond size alone. Their patterns, colors, and individual characteristics make every encounter different.
Kyoshi Suguita
At 89, Kyoshi Suguita kept adding new experiences to a lifetime of fishing.
During a challenging week, he remained engaged in the pursuit and successfully brought a large peacock bass to the boat.
His presence on the Rio Marié showed that decades of experience and a continued commitment to fishing can still lead to meaningful moments on the water.
André Suguita and a Shared Family Experience
Fishing alongside his father Kyoshi, André Suguita added another chapter to the family's week with an 85 cm peacock bass, his largest fish of the trip.
With father and son sharing the same boat, both had meaningful catches during the week. Their experience brought a different dimension to the fishing, connecting two generations through the same pursuit on the Rio Marié.
|Looking Ahead
As the river rises slowly, changing water levels will continue to shape fishing in the days ahead.
Our guides will keep evaluating how the river develops and adjusting their approach as new conditions emerge. Week six reinforced the importance of consistency, observation, and readiness when pursuing trophy-class peacock bass on the Rio Marié.
