The rewritten percentage is calculated by taking the difference in word count between the pre-spun and spun text, and dividing it with the word count of the spun text. You could have a rewritten percentage larger than 100% if the prespun text has twice or more words than the spun text. The point is, the higher the rewritten percentage, the more unique the spun versions will be.

Peacock bass fishing is quite possibly the most exciting freshwater fishing. The peacock bass, originally from South America, are well known for the fighting abilities and have desimated many a fisherman’s gear.     The peacock bass fishing began when this species of bass was intentionally put into the freshwaters of Florida by fish and game officials to help rid their waters of fish such as the Oscar, Midas cichlid, and the spotted tilapia. Due to the warm water conditions in particular areas of Florida, the butterfly peacock bass have flourished. These tropical fish cannot survive in lower water temperatures.    Peacock    bass fishing started after these fish were dropped into the warmer freshwaters of Florida in 1984 by fish and game officials to go after environmentally destructive fish like the Oscar, Midas cichlid, and the spotted tilapia.  Due to the warm water conditions in particular areas of Florida the peacock bass have vigorously grown in population. The peacock bass love temperate locations and cannot tolerate colder water temperatures.    Scheduling a fishing trip with one of the many guides in Florida is affordable  and relatively easy.  The serious peacock bass fisherman should consider planning a trip of a lifetime to the Amazon River or to the lakes and rivers of Venezuela.  This is the ultimate in peacock bass fishing.  Imagine fishing with the sounds of the jungle in the background and parrots and monkeys greeting you at every turn.    Flies, artificial or live bait can all be used to attrack the peacock bass.  Some believe the most accurate method is to use live bait and fish during the daytime.   A fly rod and an extremely sharp hook able to hook this elusive fish on the first hit and then enjoy the fight.  A locally trained guide should have most of what is necessary for a memorable peacock bass fishing trip.      After a successful peacock bass fishing trip, consider a fiberglass replica of your trophy sized bass.  They can be made with such precision that they are better than and last longer than skin mounts.  An exact measurement with detailed photograph will provide the taxidermist with he needs to create a replica for you take home.  

You may have fished in Florida all your life and be a native Floridian, but if you have not had the thrill of hooking up to a renown fighting peacock bass you haven't fished!
