FlatsRoamer 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2018 Good stuff Caloosa. I've always thought that pound for pound, mayans fight harder than peacock bass. The problem is that they are invasive and considered a pest amongst many anglers, and they also do not grow to the size of peacocks. Still a cool fish though, of course except when they steal the fly from a fat 5lb peacock... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caloosa bug 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2018 considered a pest amongst many anglers  Yep, I used to cuss them when they first started showing up overtaking my bluegill holes. We thought they were high in mercury and presumably unsafe to eat.  We were wrong, and I have since learned where to target bluegill with the occasional Mayan, and where to target Mayans with the occasional bluegill. They are great eating also.  They can be a blast to sight fish with a 3wt. And they are everywhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
