I remember the fishing shows on TV from the 80's-90's had guided trips to Cuba for the Peacocks.

Yeah! Was illegal. They had to fly to Brazil, then transfer to another plane to fly to Cuba.

I'd have prolly learned to speak Portuguese and fished Brazil before I'd spend my tourist dollars in Cuba

The main canal has tarpon and snook and then you can connect over to the other canals and fish for peacocks and snakeheads.

Somebody sent me a link to a video of some guys fishing at tributary to the Amazon and they had 20 pounders hitting top water and then bending medium wt rods in half. Looked big enough to be a lot of fun to me anyway

Yes, they get a lot bigger in the Amazon. Even the little ones are fantastic fighters though.
