Everything Was Better Than I Had Imagined!

We just got back from our peacock bass fishing trip on the Uinini on Saturday and I wanted to tell you immediately what a great trip we had. We fished in Jim "Tino" Nichols' camp and our guide was Sapo. Everything was better than I could have imagined. The fishing was incredible.

My son Kevin and I had hopes of catching a 20 lb. fish....fifteen minutes into the trip, Kevin caught a 20 1/2 pounder! I had six over 20 lbs., including a 21 and a 22 pounder! Kevin also had a 19, an 18 and several others over 12 lbs. I had two 17s and seven more peacocks over 12 lbs. We used big topwaters exclusively. Please convey my info to J.W. Smith. It's too bad our buddy Joe Doggett (Houston Chronicle outdoor writer) didn't make the trip.

Keven went out caiman hunting with two of the guides and was able to catch one--much to his and everyone's surprise.

The camp staff could not havae been any better and Kevin and I hope to return as soon as we can. Thanks again.
