Catching PEACOCK BASS on KID'S POLE in Miami [BIG CATCH Mayan Cichlid!!!]

Had a fun trip to Miami to visit family, and was able to get some fishing in! Caught a bunch of invasive exotics while we were down there including: Spotted Tilapia, Peacock Bass, and Mayan Cichlids. I also caught some natives like Largemouth Bass, and a Channel Catfish. It was so much fun, I even caught some on the Frozen kid's fishing pole. The Peacock Bass and Mayan Cichlids are beautiful fish with vibrant colors, unique patterns, and a strong fight!
My 4 year old daughter caught the Mayan Cichlid, and it qualified as a Big Catch at 1.02 pounds. Learn more about the Florida Big Catch program here: • Big Catch Florida - FW...

Beautiful fish!

Not sure if you know this because you didn’t say in the video but that small fish that you caught the peacock bass on was a juvenile peacock bass. Loving the channel, keep it up brother!
