Very few fish have that torquey power that tautog, aka blackfish, have. Northeast anglers know exactly what I’m talking about. The folks in Florida, however, have a very similar fighting fish, just a lot prettier, the Peacock Bass.
This video chronicles a February 20, 2020 trip my co-worker and friend, Jimmy, took with Captain Scott Rose of Peackock Adventures. This is a very specialized fishing and Captain Scott was amazing, literally coaching us on every aspect, from casting to setting the hook.
Best of all, the price was amazing at $450 for a 6 hour trip. If you’re going to be in South Florida, I highly recommend you look up Captain Scott: https://www.peacockadventures.com/

So good to hear the song.
heard these are a very good eating fish! I also heard they are strict on bag limits with them because they are pretty rare in the US. Not sure how true that is, I only fish saltwater up in NJ so these guys go beyond my fish knowledge! Anyhow, great video as usual!
What a small world, I know Jimmy to. I met him a few years back albie fishing out here in Greenport.
I wish we had some of them on the west coast, I may have to take a drive over there in the future, stay well my friend. Carl skinny
Those peacock bass are some beautiful fish 🎣🐟
Great video man!! Just found your channel and the content is🔥 Keep it up and tight lines!!
Beautiful fish!!Florida is such a cool place…👍's up for that Capt…Talk about being "On top of your game"
Nice peacock
Great video, I'm hoping to do a similar trip in July. That capt was great
Hope and pray everyone is safe and healthy and being smart. Hope you enjoy this trip I had back in February with my co-worker Jim and Captain Scott Rose of Peacock Adventures in Miami. Fyi, I was wrong about the trip length: it's actually a 6 hour trip, not 5 as I incorrectly stated in the video.
