We were Peacock Bass fishing in the Amazon and I unknowingly broke a world record. After getting home (to the US) from Brazil I was contacted by the Brazil Game Fish Association. Our outfitter had sent in some measurements of a fire peacock that I caught. They asked for some verification and last week sent me a certificate for my trophy. Please check out the video for the full story!
