New Pb Again! 2024
Larry C. reply :
Well this was a surprise. I could see him in the water and didn't look as big as he was when I pulled out this big'un. I didn't have a scale with me but it was definitely more than my previous PB which was 5. This felt like 10 but can't be sure.

Congrats ~ Gorgeous Fish !
Just like you, I have No clue on the weight.
I do know where they sell the scales though.

Beautiful fish!!

Nice peacock! I'm gonna guess that it's around 5-6 lbs

Jelous. No PB in central florida. 
nice fish though!
Jacob044 reply :
This formula is surprisingly close---> Measure length times length times girth divided by 1200.
Example 18" fish and girth of 16" ----> So, 18 x18 x16 / 1200= 4.3lb.

Very nice pea Larry!! It's not quite the 10lbr you may have wanted but you may have just quite beat your PB. As the heat of S. FL increases you will start seeing alot more peacock activity. What were using to catch that beauty?

Nice fish man. Congrats

Lou I used a Boo Jig no trailer. First time I ever used a jig. I took advantage that I could see about 10' down and kept throwing everything until I saw interest.
It was a wonderful learning experience to see what actions I did would cause a reaction in the fish.
Larry C. reply :
Thanks guys. I just keep reading here and learning. You all have helped me become a better bass fisherman.

Going by this formula and pictures I took of my buddy holding the fish we estimated the catch to be anywhere between 7.88 and 9.57.
So does 8.72 sound fair??? 
Nitrofreak reply :
Sound fair ? sure !! but I still would not count it as such for the simple reason that you just can't possibly be sure , look at it this way , you have a new scale ordered , let that one go and go catch another one to hang on that bad boy , who knows , you guys have some great fishing down there , you might just hang a 12 lb'er !!!! WWWWWOOOOOOOHHHHHHHOOOOO !!!
Regardless , it was a great moment with a great fish and a great memory to have forever !!
Larry C. reply :
Right on Nitro!!!

Larry listen to Nitro on this one. Like he said, regardless, beautiful fish!! As far as weight? I really can't tell you. In the future when you land another beast, you will have a better reference with the scale.

This wouldn't work for peacock. Peacock are built way different that largemouth. They have a bigger girth but less length.

Great catch - I've never seen one - 'course I've only fished in New England...

Oh ok didnt think about that. Good call
jbsoonerfan reply :
The one thing I know is, the fish always weighs more when I don't have a set of scales.
Larry C. reply :
My new scale just came in the mail! I'll never have to guess again.

Cool!! Enjoy.
Backlash123 reply :
Congrats on a great catch! Trust me, you will catch a bigger one soon enough, there are some really big peas in these canals. Try the Kendall Lakes area, I believe the state record came from those lakes (at least at one point it was).
Tight Lines.
