I've been impatiently waiting for this haha nothing better for a Saturday morning, who else is loving this series!?

[@Krutonboy]

Peacock bass are amazing!

[@benisgonefishing405]

Hey LFG!! Just wanna say that I'm prayin for you and Stephanie! Love your vids!! Keep it up!!

[@antinotaylor6854]

Love your videos

[@TimHollis3006]

Don't worry I'm taking care of Stephanie while he's out spending donations!

[@gtboutdoors1588]

Reklaw why would you say that? He had this trip planned for weeks if not months before his diagnosis

[@TimHollis3006]

GTB Outdoors Because I’m making Stephanie squeal while he’s spending your donor donations

[@nickh9632]

Awesome stuff, it’s good to see you excited again! I know it’s been a rough few months but know that we are all praying for you and OSG.

[@TheRooster1122]

Chop, Chop, Chop....my arms are sore just watching!!

[@AdamStew]

Hearing you explain fishing those huge baits, and the mental toughness of it makes me think of musky fishing! It can be a grind, but just one fish makes all the hard work worth it. Congrats on the peacocks buddy!

[@LakeForkGuy]

+Adam Stew a lot like muskee Fishing I would imagine. Hours and hours with out getting bites

[@AdamStew]

Sometimes days! Its definitely a grind.

[@fishfearme6606]

Us musky guys know how to throw a big bait though. Using the entire rod to throw the bait instead and following thru the cast. Not "flicking" it like a bass angler does. Working the chopper is a chore in and of itself, but casting a 5-8, sometimes even a 10 oz bait all day can be very hard on wrists and elbows if one does not have the right technique. LFG, use your entire body and let the rod hurl that bait out there, quit overworking yourself.

[@BassGeek]

Now this is an epic bass fishing trip. Love the Peacocks.

[@lojofishing]

Dude those peacock bass are FIERCE!!!!!!

[@larrystolzman3231]

Welcome to the Muskie fisherman's world. Big baits, heavy equipment, huge adrenaline rush when you hook one! Thanks for sharing your great experience! Love it!

[@lshin4482]

I've been sick with a severe case of pneumonia and all I've been doing is laying in bed watching your vids and waiting on your new vids. Thank you LFG for helping me feel better by inspiring me with your awesome vids!

[@subieguy8700]

Holy cow Justin those peacock bass are huge! They are bigger than the ones in Florida. Wow is all I can say. Good thing is you got your workout done. I'm surprised on that last fish your rod didn't snap in half. That thing was bent like it was about to snap. Those rods are strong as heck. Thx for uploading this on your vacation. Enjoy Hawaii!

[@dinoharrison5138]

Justin, so happy for you Dude. What a neat video for a great trip. You deserve this trip. God Bless You and Stephanie!!! Still in my prayers.

[@Busyascanbe]

LFG, I've watched this twice and all I can think of is awesome! You and Steph are in our prayers every day!

[@coltmac1319]

Simply amazing man, been waiting for these vidyas since you mentioned fish the Amazon... it's definitely on my bucket list!!!

[@alanajustalana915]

Hawaii, The Amazon, Mexico... What an adventure! Life has so much in store for you! No matter what gets thrown at you just keep your head up! God is looking after you. Those are some sick peacocks man!

[@Grablifebythefish1]

So happy for you. What an experience of a lifetime!! Your excitement is the best part because its so genuine.

[@troyreed4414]

All I can say is Wow man, just WOW! Soooo jelly right now. Have fun, make those memories that last a lifetime and thanks for sharing with all of us man...just awesomeness!!

[@dustyrosenthal2592]

Vicarious fishing. Probably the only way I will ever fish for Peacocks. Love it.

[@briand4635]

Been a life long dream of mine to fish for peacocks. I am 43 and can remember watching bill dance or Babe or one of those guys from that era fishing for them and ever since I have wanted to do that. LFG you are one lucky sob to be able to fish for them! Take care!

[@williamjeffers6593]

Wow i could feel the strain in my arms just watching you catch those beautiful peacock bass...very awesome

[@jstokes7466]

I cant believe I waited a couple of days to start watching these amazon vids, they are amazing! Thanks LFG!

[@alexkrout]

Awesome video! Thanks for taking us on your adventures!

[@jimmyvega6720]

Thanks for taking me along with you on that great trip

[@kevinfeidler6063]

Awesome video, LFG. I am 42 year old and just had a heart attack Wednesday. Watched your videos in hospital everyday, they helped keep my mind off what happened to me at a young age. My prayers for you and OSG.

[@kentkelly5301]

I don't care what species you are after, you can not beat the top water bite! Love it!!!!

[@Dawgrum]

You are the best fishing channel on KZbin. God bless you and your family.

[@bobfletcher7409]

I've been dying to see the first actual fishing video.............as usual LFG does not disappoint. Thanks

[@michaelpacini1332]

Hot damn !!! Amazon Peacock bass are the real deal . LFG thanks for allowing me to live vicariously through your videos. I jumped out of my chair when they slammed your topwater chopper . Make Every Cast Count

[@Bigdaddy19714]

Awesome video man. Those fish are beautiful. Glad to see you living it up and making memories. Top water strike like that make me giddy like a little kid when they happen. Keep living with gusto and show people that cancer doesn't get to win. Prayers for yas brother.

[@JD-86-Eight_Zero]

Now those are some huge Peacocks. Well done Justin, liking these Amazon videos.

[@dotyjake]

What a blessing to be able to do something like this

[@kevinminnick3808]

Haha I’m going to get motion sick watching your chopping from your chesty!!! So stoked!!!

[@TimDBarnett]

Hey Justin, I am jealous watching you catch these beautiful peacocks. The best I ever hooked up was a 15 pound striped bass in a West Texas lake many years ago, but I still remember the strike and the fight. Have lots of fun, sir!

[@FullThrottleDirtBikes]

Who agrees this is one of LFG's coolest videos.

[@johnt3813]

Lived every moment of that with you. That was great! Thanks LFG

[@bdroddy]

Incredible. Simply incredible. Can’t wait to see more Amazon action!!

[@gladiooshiro1223]

You did a really good Job here in “Brasil”! Congratulations!

[@hidog420]

Keep on CHOPPIN brother! What an incredible experience that had to be, thanks for bringing us along LFG.

[@i2aspire]

I'm glad you caught some nice ones, I've had some catches when I was younger that I still remember.

[@carlzluticky5946]

WOW!! Your videos make me feel like I am there with you! Thank you!

[@brettlanglois8769]

I did Ron Speeds Adventures in Mexico.. Lake El Salto. Great company ! Next one will be the Amazon. Thanks for the videos and the heads up on their routine. Enjoy it my friend, and take it all in. God bless.

[@southeastohiooutdoor]

Incredible top water footage thanks for your videos and your enthusiasm

[@stonewallpi1]

I'm going to add PIE-Yowwwwd it to my fishing vocabulary! :) You weren't kidding when that fish you cut the line on hit that bait it nearly yanked your pole out of your hand! Love it! What a great first day on the water!

[@thrill2reel586]

Best fishing video on KZbin right here!!!!

[@DCD-il3nm]

Those rods that Winston has made are freaking awesome. That first big fish had that sucker bent over and you can hear the braids running through the guides. The Phantom Rocks

[@Brandonp95]

This video was simply amazing. Gave me chills the whole time. Hopefully one day I can experience this!

[@JohnSattoCH]

Great video Justin. What an action on that top water lure!! Love It! Chop chop CHOP CHOP!

[@itshayappenshay6057]

I like the way you put the Portuguese accent on the English words..."Guuud feeeeesh Gator!". Great video!

[@brandonw5801]

I love Peacock Bass fishing. They have them in the canals in south Florida. nothing close to the size of amazon Peacock. But still fight a little harder than Florida stream bass. Also they love to jump out of the water to attack a fast moving bait. So much fun!!

[@shawnm7020]

Starting my day with a cup of coffee and LFG!

[@mass.basswhisperer9963]

Hey Justin that was an amazing video I love what you did with the local guys my people, I can't wait for a part 2. like I always say a good fish is live fish.
