I am amazed that peacock bass record isn't higher than that. I think if I lived in Florida I would be shooting for that one. Those dudes get huge in the amazon!! The world record is 27 lbs, caught on (go figure) Luhr Jensen's "Peacock Bass Lure".

Here is a picture. I hope I can link it.

This is the Lure

Randy's record smallie was on the big lake I do not know why it was not recorded in the record book I used? $:-\$

b1jeremy · January 04, 2007, 11:13:08 AM

A lot of people don't realize it but the line class records are actually more attainable i believe. For instance, there is no line class record for the 4 lb category for Largemouth in LA. I will be throwing some 4 lb test this year. Just like trout fishing back home lol.
