Not sure how south in texas you are but peacock bass do well here in Florida from about west palm beach down to the country of Miami. They are IMHO 5x the fight of a regular LMB. But remember they are an exotic/tropical and even though I am in Florida (G'ville) our winters get too cold (relatively, no comments from you midwesterners)
Once my ducks get in a row (which at this point is like herding cats) I am going to attempt a SMB/YP/HSB pond. Which no one around here has. I am confident It will work based on the opinions of the experts and what I have seen from fellow pondmeisters.
