Der größte Marlin der je mit einer Angelrute und Rolle gefangen wurde!

Vier Angler mussten sich abwechseln um diesen Giganten zu bezwingen!

Der Fisch wurde daher von der IGFA nicht als "Welt Rekord" anerkannt!
 

Bue Marlin 817,67 kg / Hawaii 1970!

Kaum zu glauben, gefangen mit einer monofilen Schnur
mit nur 9 kg Tragkraft!

"Tackle: 20 LB"

Sensation of the Year - 2006!

This is the largest carp-like fish ever, from which a photo was published or maybe exists. Larger than the inofficial sportfishing record for Giant Siamese Carp of approx. 110 kg (242,5 lbs) and the new commercial fishing record for Black Carp of 106 kg (233,69 lbs) – see page 3. It is also a new record length for this species, which lives only in the Tigris-Euphrates-River system in Turkey, Syria and Iraq. The maximum weight is 136 kg (300 lbs) and there are also reports of fishes up to 200 kg (440 lbs) from the good old times, which seems possible under the aspect of this actual catch. The fish was caught with a net in a side part of the Euphrates River near Birecik in South-East Turkey, before gravel winning started. Of course Barbus esocinusis threatened by the dam building (e.g. Atatürk Dam) on the upper Euphrates River. Although this catch happened some years ago, it was definitely the most sensational information we got in the year 2006!
