Peacock Bass

I was chatting with a client after a reading, and the client’s part-time job is at a fish story – exotic aquarium things sort of place. I heard a tale about a “Peacock Bass” and that got me thinking. My mind can be dangerous place, especially if you’re alone and unarmed.

See: at this one place, they just sold a “Peacock Bass” for some huge sum of money. Works for me. I think I’ve spent twice that much on unsuccessful fishing trips, and some times, I mean, look at one of the pictures, and you’ll see we do catch fish on occasion. Instead of releasing them back into the wild, only to provide more sport for other folks, though, I got to thinking….

Just snag one of those little puppies. The ones we’d normally throw back? Nothing worth keeping? About the size of a “Peacock Bass.”

The challenge? Got to find some waterproof paint. I mean, I suppose that a Peacock Bass will have all those rainbow colors, right? A little dab of paint, and those folks at the aquarium store would never know. Let’s say each fish nets $100, that’s worth a little paint, correct?
