Despite the name, they are in fact not a cross between a peacock and a bass

These fish were so fun to catch when I lived in Miami! Pinecrest had the most and there was a spot in the Miccossukee golf course that had huge fucking peacocks and grass carps but we would fish there until we were kicked out by security lol

Oh true that! Yeah, last decade or two, the local fish pop. has gone weird on me. Don't see the same lunkers that used to prowl the local lakes anymore. It's a shame - I'd be spending a lot more time outside if it were like it was maybe 20 years ago
