heaviest Arapaima ever caught with rod & reel, well documented and released  

Largest freshwater fish ever caught with fly tackle

On 4 February 2015 angler Richard Hart landed a 190,51 kg (420 lb) Arapaima, also called Pirarucu. This is the new official rod & reel world record and the heaviest freshwater fish ever taken with fly tackle. Hart, accompanied by three native guides, was casting from a 20-foot canoe and needed only 20 minutes to land the fish. Once landed, Hart and the guides worked quickly to safely document the fish. The species is legally protected against hunting and harvesting by the government of Guyana. The giant was caught beyond Corona falls. It was 410 cm in length and 215 cm in girth. We are not sure if the length measurement is correct as it would be one metre longer than the other specimen in this weight class.

More Arapaima (Pirarucu) records

 

 

European Chub or not - where is the original photo?  

6 kg (14 lb) plus European Chub - Grass Carp or not?

At the moment this 6,25 kg (nearly 14 lb) European Chub is the rod & reel world record. It was caught in the Danube River in GyÅ‘r-Moson-Sopron county on 16 September 1987. On the picture angler József Pul shows the official hungarian record with a length of 72 cm and a girth of 42 cm. At that time the species was confirmed by an ichthyologist, but there are still doubts. Finally we discovered the photo, but the quality is too bad for the database profile. So we published it in the User Gallery.

Bowfishing is a dubious but professional sport in the USA  

New bowfishing record for Grass Carp- 92 lb

On 18 June 2015 Bryan Hughes set a new bestmark with a 41,73 kg (92 lb) specimen while competing in the 16th Annual Muzzy Bowfishing Classic. The giant was only in 3 feet of water when Hughes first shot it. It had a 99 cm (39 inch) girth. The fish was officially certified by the Bowfishing Association of America as a world record.Lake Guntersville is one of the world’s best largemouth bass lakes and also one of the most productive bowfishing lakes.

There are still at least 30 large catfish species almost unknown in the angling world  

The unknown giant Salween Rita Catfish

Never heard of this species? It lurks around in the Irrawaddy and Salween River systems in Burma and Thailand. It reaches a length of 2 metres. This is equivalent to a weight of around 140 kg (over 300 lb) because of it’ s body shape. In 2014 the first rod caught specimen in decent size of 20,55 kg  (45 lb) was reported by Tim Webb from the well-known Palm Tree Lagoon fishing lake.  

More unknown catfish species over
50 kg (110 lb)
  

 

 

In former centuries Sturgeons over 1.000 kg (2.200 lb) were caught regularly  

Photo of a 2.700 lb Beluga Sturgeon discovered!  

For 20 years we showed a color photo of 800 kg specimen from Iran in the species profile. After a long time of searching we proudly present good quality pictures of two really large specimen with 1.224 kg (2.698 lb) and 1.179 kg (2.600 lb) from the beginning of the 20th century. The 7 metres (23 foot) long commercially caught specimen show the enormous growth potential of this highly endangered species. Before the drastic decrease of the sturgeon population in the Caspian Sea, the Ural River – the only unregulated river in this drainage basin – offered a good chance to catch Belugas of 200 – 400 kg with rod & reel.

300-350 kg Giant Freshwater Stingray - the largest real freshwater species  

300 kg (660 lb) plus Stingray - largest rod-caught freshwater fish ever

On 6 March 2015 a Giant Freshwater Stingray over 14 ft (427 cm) long and 240 cm wide was caught by several members of the Fishsiam team and filmed for a future episode of Ocean Mysteries on ABC. Dr. Nantarika Chanuse from Chulalongkorn University estimated the weight on 300-350 kg. The fish was a recapture from a previous tagging project with Zeb Hogan from National Geographic which had grown significantly in the last six years.

the largest White Catfish ever caught  

Photo evidence of the
10 kg (22 lb) historically
White Catfish record

Finally we got the picture from the world record holder. The legendary catch, confirmed by the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame, was made in 1994. The fish is 3 lb (!) heavier than the number 2, the IGFA world record. There are no doubts about the species. It was identified by a biologist in Texas. He said the most reliable identification method is counting the rays on the caudal or anal fin. White Catfish have 22 to 25 rays while Channel Catfish have 25 to 28 and Blue Catfish, 30 to 35.

100 years ago 80 lb plus Salmon were caught regularly  

Unbelievable 55 kg (121 lb) Chinook Salmon from the
good old times

Do you know „June hogs“? This is an extinct strain of Chinook Salmon from the Columbia River and it’s tributaries (see wikipedia). After a long search we are sure that this is the largest specimen captured in a picture and published.

the Golden Perch or "Yellowbelly" is a popular sport fish in Australia  

New maximum size for the Australian Golden Perch

We revised the maximum weight and length of this popular sport fish. Specimen Hunter from Australia evaluated the existing information. The legendary record of 24 kg plus seems to be a misidentification. The largest specimen caught with a net had 15 kg and angler occasionally catch fishes between 8 and 10 kg.

the new rod & reel record for Shortnose Sturgeon  

15 kg (33 lb) Shortnose Sturgeon caught from a Kayak  

Do you believe exotic species were only caught in warm waters? On 26 April 2014 ten kayak and canoe fisherman from „Greater Saint John Kayak Anglers“ Club caught and released 29 specimen of this nearly unknown sturgeon species on one day. The largest fish had 54 inches and was caught near Quispamsis.

Ein Trip an den großen Fluss Italiens...

 


 

Los ging es zwei Tage später als geplant, da das Wasser noch etwas zu trübe war und noch so etliches an Treibgut  angespült wurde. Am Donnerstag den, 24 Sept. war es dann endlich soweit und konnten nach einer gut fünfstündigen, problemlosen Fahrt unser Ziel erreichen. Den üblichen Grempel aufgebaut und dann gings ans Fischen. Nur war es die ersten zwei Tage nicht so einfach, denn es kamen noch geringere Mengen (wie oben beschrieben) an Treibgut. Macht nix..., wir nützten dafür einiges an Zeit um uns den Spot noch genauer mit dem Echo anzuschauen. Vor uns lag eine Rinne in die, die folgenden Tage das Futter abgekippt wurde.


 


 

Nach ca. 40 Std. bekam mein Angelpartner Phil den ersten Run, war auch nicht verwunderlich, denn er fischte unterhalb von mir. Aber es sollte noch so weitergehen und er hatte schon 4 Fische bis ich den ersten "Dicken" verhaften konnte. So konnten wir dann in sieben Tagen gemeinsam 18 teils gewaltig schöne Fischerl dem grossem Fluss entlocken. Kann nur jedem empfehlen - der mal an dem Gewässer fischt - sich genügend Futter mitzunehmen, denn wir hätten es bald unterschätzt mit 160 kg. Auch genügend an Blei 170-280 gr., sowie Schnur in der Stärke etwa 0,50 mm.


    
Alles in allem ein Erlebnis der Extraklasse dass ich sicher wieder wiederholen werde. Mit den Baits natürlich wieder top ausgerüstet  von der Firma "Boilie & More".
Vielen Dank nochmals an Siegi u.Christa!!
