The water levels dropped again for most of the week and finally stabilized near the end of week.

Temensis over 15lbs: 10
Temensis over 20lbs: 5
Highlight of the week:
Catching any world record fish is a dream for many anglers, but capturing a world record peacock bass is an entirely different ball game. It took our guest Fabiano a couple of days for his accomplishment to sink in. While fishing upstream of the Marié, he caught a monster 91 cm. peacock bass, which matches the standing IGFA All Tackle Length world record! Of course, he could hardly believe what happened in front of his eyes! A massive angling accomplishment, we could not be prouder of your efforts, Fabiano! The Marié continues to amaze us and leave us wondering if there are any more world record fish lurking in its depths.
See you next week!
