My friends and i started the day off throwing some large shiners in this local pond just outside of the buckingham area.  We started out like always a couple nice largemouth bass and a few small peacocks, mixed with oscars.  Then in the spur of the moment it hit my shiner and the fight was on.  Shaking and thrashing the fish was angry, I ran down the bank and tried to see just what i have hooked,  just when i almost seen it it dashed off again, finally i got it to the bank and to my surprise it was a beautiful peacock bass weighing a little over five pounds.  My name is Chris Tuttle and i approve this message.
