Marié 2025 Season Fishing Report | A Strong Return to the River of Giants Week 20 | January 03 to 10/2026

Week 20 marked the return to fishing after the holiday break, and the Marié picked up right where it left off. With a predominantly Brazilian group on board, the river delivered strong action, personal milestones, and the kind of fish that define this destination.

Several personal records were broken throughout the week, but one moment stood above the rest. Another true giant crossed the 90 cm mark, becoming the 15th peacock bass over 90 cm of the season. A milestone that further confirms the exceptional nature of this year and the unmatched potential of these waters.

As water levels began to rise slowly, success came through timing, commitment, and reading the river carefully. It was a powerful way to open the new calendar year and a clear signal that the season is far from slowing down.

Jeremy’s highlight came at the very end of the trip. With the day winding down, one final stop turned into a defining moment when a 22 lb peacock bass crushed his fly. A powerful finish that transformed the closing casts into a memory that will last a lifetime.

Greg
Greg experienced one of those strikes that stays etched in memory. A violent surface take on a popper left no doubt about what followed, and moments later a 21 lb peacock bass was safely in the net. A classic Marié moment, raw and unforgettable.

Francisco
Chicão wasted no time setting the pace. On the very first day of the week, he landed a 21 lb trophy, a heavy, commanding fish that opened the week with authority and set the standard for what was to come.

LOOKING AHEAD

With the season entering its final stretch and water levels beginning to rise once again, adaptability becomes essential.
