In this video, we hit the urban freshwater canals of South Florida for a full-on Peacock Bass fishing mission — and the action was nonstop! These colorful, aggressive fish are not only one of the most exciting species to catch in Florida, but they fight like tanks and love to crush baits in tight cover.

We explored hidden canal stretches and targeted structure using a mix of hard baits, soft plastics, and live bait to dial in the bite. From explosive strikes to epic hooksets, this was a day to remember!
