Has anyone caught a peacock in the quarry?

Just wondering if anyone has seen any peacock around

I haven't caught any but I've seen them in there. I have also seen 2 different photos of people posing with them. With the explosive of the invasive species in the lakes, we should consider stocking them.

We now have pictures from Tom Terrific!

This one almost looks like a cross between a peack and a largemouth?

I think the fish in my video is a Butterfly Peacock. I was surprised to find that there are multiple peacock bass. Also they love warm water whick would explain why so many have been caught recently.

I've been speaking with a few guys that are fishing and everyone is finding these peacocks. I had a bunch of fish today with at least 6 or so of them. They fight a bit tougher than a largemouth and they're aggressive.
