How Big Do Peacock Bass Get? (With Average and Record Weights)

While the average size of most peacock bass in Florida is between 12 and 17 inches and 1 to 3 pounds, this fish can reach a maximum size of approximately 28 inches and 15 pounds. Florida peacocks are, however, somewhat smaller.

Tight Lines!

Hi, I'm Max. I have been an avid angler for over 20 years and I just could not imagine a life without this wonderful hobby! To me, fishing is a passion and a lifestyle. The joy of the catch, the bait, the tackle and the outdoors in general is what Strike and Catch is all about.
