While you slap nuts were talking tampons and whose mud motor is the bestest, I spent 10 days in Brazil knocking off one of my bucket list items.
Trip of a lifetime and even better I got to spend it with 7 good friends. Words can't describe the whole experience from the people to the landscape to the fishing. It was everything I thought it would be and more. Peacocks have to be some of the best top water fishing I've ever done. About the only thing I could compare it to would be trying to hook schooling yellow fin off the coast with a 7' falcon and 80 pound braid. Our group caught 8 fish over 20 pounds and took big fish honors 4 out of the 6 days. My 2nd peacock ever went 22 pounds on the first day, and I caught the biggest fish in the lodge with a 24. I'd rather be lucky than good any day. Here are a few pics:

So there I was minding my own business in the Amazon when a monkey climbed up on my lap. I thought about spanking it, but thought that might be inappropriate in front of the locals.
that's awesome man glad you had fun use to watch them catch'em on espn outdoors on sat morn when i was a kid.
