World Record Peacock
Now Official! – On June 1, 2010 the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) officially certified the 28 pound Peacock Bass caught by Bill Gassmann on February 9, 2010 as the new All-Tackle World Record, according to Captain Peacock Yachts & Expeditions owners Leonardo Leao and Nasser Fraxe. Gassmann ,of Des Moines Iowa, caught the 37 -inch long with 25-inch girth, monster peacock bass aboard the Captain Peacock yacht operation while fishing in a backwater slough off the Rio Negro. The huge peacock hit his clown patterned Woodchopper and
after a furious 12 minute battle, Bill and his guide Elvis were able to land the huge fish. “We are very happy to show the fishing world our exclusive concept combining mobility, safety and first-class service and accommodations in order to create unique moments like this,” says Leonardo and Nasser. “The opportunity is for every angler, from the first-time peacock bass fisherman up to the most knowledgeable ones. Since receiving the IGFA Certificate, Gassmann has traveled to Manaus for an awards presentation from the Capt. Peacock operators and Dallas taxidermist Ron Kelly also went down to cast a mold of the world record fish.

The Belle of the Amazon
December 9th, 2009
We were given the choice of all of the Santana yachts from which to select the primary offering for this season. After careful examination of each facility, we settled on the Belle Amazon as the best for our clients. All of the rooms are on the two main decks. There are 8 double rooms with staggered bunk beds and a VIP suite with a king size bed enough to accommodate 18 clients. Each has a private bath and is fully air conditioned. The kitchen and dining area are on the main deck with seating for all clients to join together at a single table. On the upper deck is a Media Room for your entertainment pleasure, a bar for your refreshment, and an open deck to enjoy the moonlight and the stars.
On board you will be attended by our host, Harry, and Daniel, our Camp Manager. Our resident nurse will be present for any medical needs you might have. You will enjoy the luxury of a sit-down dinner each night – served with your choice of wine, beer or any non-alcoholic drinks. After dinner, you can retire to the upper deck where Harry will take your favorite liquor and mix you the drinks of your choice. You will have Satellite TV to watch plus some interesting movies on the DVD. There will be a satellite phone available for emergencies for a small fee.
You will fish from our specially designed aluminum boats equipped with 50 HP, 4 stroke, Suzuki engines. The fishing boats are 18′ in length and have large casting platforms both front and rear. In addition, you can enjoy the swivel seats that are standard when you need a break from standing.
And best of all, you will get to enjoy this luxury with an American Outfitter than understands the desires of his clients and who fishes the areas extensively himself so that you have the best information available about fishing conditions and water levels. You can depend on this operator to advise you of current conditions prior to your trip so that if conditions are not right you will get the option to continue your trip or to postpone your trip until better conditions exist.
The cost of this trip is the same as last season: $4,595/angler, and the trip will be limited to a maximum of 18 anglers.
