Is there any size to the Peacock bass down in Florida? All the ones I
have seen on TV seem to be quite small compared to what you see people
catching in the Amazon.

I suppose in comparison to the South American peacocks, they are quite
small. But then again, the cost of fishing for the Florida peacocks is
quite small in comparison to a South American trip. The average size is 3 -
4 pounds in Florida, but the state record is 12 pounds, a pretty respectable
fish.

And, the fight is still good, you just scale your tackle down to match the
fish. Instead of using heavy bass and/or muskie tackle, you're using light
bass equipment and you have all the fight you want.
