That's a factor with just about any fish. Longer-lived, predatory species will have more mercury, and the older the fish the more mercury it is likely to contain.
Here's a link to some good info on the mercury issue:

You gotta get down into "land of the dangling chad" to start seeing peacock bass in any numbers. Best bait I've found for em is a top water splash bait like the old jitter bugs or a buzz bait. A big shiney rapalla in a snap jerk retrieve works good too. Make sure you have good line and a decent leader. 10 pounders are common, and they fight like a largemouth on crack. Heavy action bait caster is almost a must, but a solid spinner rod and reel will work too.
I need to get down there and try that once. So is that farther than Ochechobee?
