Highlights of the week:

Jerry Saltzberger is an 87 years old angler who came here with a mission: Catching a Monster Peacock Bass. Jerry knew that the Marié River was the best place to do it. And, of course, he was right! After a fierce fight, he knew that he had made the right choice in coming to this river as he was then in his hands the trophy 20lbs Peacock Bass!! Mission accomplished Jerry!  But it's not over yet. Now Jerry is already set for a new objective: The Giant Arapaima at the Pirarucu Lodge! Good Luck over there, Jerry!
