Peacock Bass Fishing Tops the List
Tucunaré (too-coon-a-ray), as Peacock Bass are locally known, is only one of a long list of species which you can catch in the Amazon Basin.  The tucunaré is known as Brazil's freshwater ambassador, because it's fierce top water strikes and tackle busting power has attracted adventurous fishermen from all over the world.  Reaching sizes over three feet long and upwards of 25 pounds, the beautiful Peacock Bass makes for a formidable adversary.  They regularly break 30-lb mono and super braids of 80-lb and greater strength, in addition to destroying lures, straightening hooks and split rings, even breaking rods and exploding reels.  Many consider it to be the ultimate fresh water sport fish.  The tucunaré (Peacock Bass) is not really a bass, as the English name implies, but a cichlid.  In the Amazon region, local scientists have identified a total of 14 different species of tucunaré.  A more commonly known cichlid is the aquarium fish, Oscar, which like the Peacock is known for its aggressive behavior.
