WALTERS BUTTERFLYEarly in February River Plate Anglers reported that angler, Mr.George Walters caught the World Record Butterfly Peacock Bass which weighed slightly over 17lbs. The record is pending certification by IGFA. The butterfly peacock was caught on the Rio Urubaxi in the Brazilian Amazon on a topwater prop lure.
February has turned out to be quite a month for the Peacock Bass world...of the hundreds of anglers that trek to the Amazon watershed on an annual basis and now two world records may change with Giants caught from the Rio Negro region!
