Yet Another New Potential WORLD RECORD Peacock Bass!

COULD IT BE TRUE?

Information is sketchy at this point but it appears that yet another new potential world record Peacock Bass has been landed. We are advised that the necessary papers are being filed with the IGFA. The fish was reported to have been caught in the middle Rio Negro region of Amazonas, Brazil and weighed in at 29.40 pounds! More to come as information becomes available.
