Highlights of the week:

After finding a peacock bass nest and spending more than an hour casting to it, Wade and his friend Andrew both snagged the line on their spinning gear. Having no other option, Wade pulled out his fly rod, and after some fierce casting, engaged in an adrenaline pumping fight with the fish of a lifetime. He needed to unwrap the line from some branches and then follow the fish all the way to the other side of the lagoon to finally land his first 20 pound peacock bass from the Rio Marié! Congratulations, Wade!!
See you next week!
