Never knew peacocks were in sg resivoirs! I thought they only lived in South America lol! But can they grow to record breaking sizes in sg?
Got to catch'em all! :D

Our reservoirs aren't considered big compared to rivers and lakes in other countries where they can stay undisturbed. Peacock bass here can potentially grow quite large (though not record breaking) as many anglers don't tend to bag them.

That's a pretty good size bass indeed, congrats. What lure were you using?
