I am very proud of Captain Steve Stricker and his U.S. team. They built a great lead after two days, and they didn’t take the pedal off the metal. This a very big win for American golf! Barbara and I congratulate all 12 players and everyone involved. Well played, gentlemen! Nicely done, guys! There is a nucleus in place for a great United States team for a long time! —Jack

I fished Brazil’s Rio Negro last week with Billy Chapman's Anglers Inn International yacht operation. The river water level was high and all lagoons had high water into their trees, but I did catch a few big fish including this 18 pound acu (3-bar) speckled peacock. For details on the catch and other double digit fish that I caught, visit: http://www.peacockbassassociation.com/html/larry_peacock_bass_log.html

It is with a tear in my eye and a heavy heart that I must report that my friend Bobby Foster has passed way. He loved his wife, his family, his friends and fishing. Godspeed my buddy, I will miss you.

Larry Larsen is just back from a great trip on the Rio Marie in the Amazon with Untamed Angling operation. I was fortunate to catch this 25-pound monster peacock bass on my second day there. It tied my personal best (with two other peacock); can't seem to catch a 26 pounder. It had a massive girth of 25 inches. For full details, go to "Larry's Log" Section found on my website at www.peacockbassassociation.com. Thanks to outfitters Marcelo Perez and Rodrigo Salles for a great experience.

All peacock bass anglers, IGFA is having their annual fishing contest and there are 74 eligible species; two of them though are prime opportunities for our enthusiasts, the butterfly peacock (Orinoco) and the speckled peacock (3-bar). Here's the rules and species to check out: https://igfa.org/contests/Fishing/Species.aspx . Although IGFA rules prohibit the weighing of fish on boats, many of the species selected for the contest can be caught, properly documented and safely released at or near the site of capture. IGFA encourages anglers to do their utmost to release fish in the best possible condition to ensure the highest probability of their survival.

The devastating floods in Texas from Hurricane Harvey are impacting thousands. The high water in the Brazil may impact our fishing but these impact homes, families and lives. There are more Amazon peacock bass anglers living in Texas than in any other state, and we ask all anglers everywhere to join us in our prayers for the South Texas residents and communities. Be safe my friends!.
