Katsuki Sannomiya the new world record holder. Of course the fish was released alive.
Shimanto River strikes back – 38 kg Japanese Lates
On 5th August 2015 a 33.9 kg, 134 cm long Japanese Lates from Urado Bay was reported to the IGFA (meanwhile accepted as an all tackle record). In September the Shimanto River, holder of the old world record, striked back with a 38 kg (84 lb) specimen, accurately weighed and measured. The growth potential of this endemic and endangered species is unclear. A giant with 206 kg and a length of 2.1 metres was reported by fishery officials in 1878…
The new New Zealand record Rainbow Trout with an enormous girth and nearly 90 cm long.
Maybe the best trout angling day ever - 4 specimen with 130 lb
A sport fisherman from Nelson reported an unbelievable fishing day on the canals near Twizel, South Island, New Zealand in December 2015. He caught and released Brown Trouts of 30 lb plus, around 25 lb and 32 lb. And on the way back to the car he made another stop for some casts and caught a fat Rainbow Trout over 42 lb! He was fishing alone with no net. So he took quick measurements, a few hasty snapshots and quickly weighed it. The angler believed that it was potentially the biggest Brown Trout ever landed, but the photo shows definitely a Rainbow Trout. With four trouts with a total weight of around 59 kg (130 lb) this could be the most successful trout angling day ever.
Paplo di Santi with his second rod & reel world record within two years.
The bulky Pati from Rio Parana
Pablo di Santi did it again. After his Barred Sorubim world record in 2014 he set a second best mark with a 32 kg (70 lb) Pati in 2015. The Pati (Luciopimelodus pati) is a large, bulky catfish species that grows to 50 kg. In the past it was heavily fished commercially, but now that this has diminished large specimens are caught again by anglers. This species can be captured throughout the year.
The potential world record Lake Sturgeon was too long to lift and weigh it.
Potential Lake Sturgeon rod & reel record
Thirteen-year-old David Jacobson maybe caught a potential Lake Sturgeon world record. The 86 inch fish is only 1 inch shorter than the longest ever caught with rod & reel, The specimen had likely but not certain over 90 kg (200 lb) and no girth measurements were taken, therefore we can’t update the 42 years old weight record. It was released alive on 12 September 2015.
The first documented best mark for the Porcubine River Stingray.
5 new, large S. A. freshwater stingrays incorporated
Part One (Amazon River Basin) of the definitive guide to the Freshwater Stingrays of South America was published recently. With this reference we could add 5 (!) species over 5 kg (11 lb) in our database. In addition we proudly present the first rod & reel record for the Porcubine River Stingray with a weight of 7 kg, caught near Bella Vista by Mark Jones, owner of Argentina Fishing Adventures in February 2015.
This massive dogtooth tuna (Gymnosarda unicolor) is one of two potential All-Tackle world records recently submitted to the IGFA. Angler Leopoldo Tomas Zapata Gazquez of Almeria, Spain caught this enormous 106.2 kg (234 lb 2 oz) doggy while slow trolling a live rainbow runner off Tanzania with IGFA Representative Capt. Jason Alexiou on December 4, 2014. Despite catching the fish more than a year ago, there is no time limit on All-Tackle record claims, as long as all the necessary documentation can be provided. The other pending claim for the All-Tackle dogtooth tuna was caught last November and if approved, will replace this record by about 1 kg (2 lb).
I am still convinced that our complete, precise and up-to-date reference database - open to everyone - is really valuable for sport fishermen and scientists. I want to develop the website towards a fishing trip portal. To create a source of income for local fishermen from catch & release angling tourism and therefore reduce the commercial fishing pressure.

Again new world record carp from Euro-Aqua at 106 lb
Once again the world record carp has been broken with the capture of a 48 kg (nearly 106 lb) specimen from „Euro Aqua" in Hungary. Czech angler Thomas Krist managed to land a huge mirror carp on 18 may 2015. The lake burst on the carp scene three years ago, when Roman Hanke made an amazing 46 kg plus catch.
The commercially-run 11 hectare lake is a former gravel pit near Lake Balaton. The fishery holds many more giant carp, plus catfish, zander and pike. At the moment the commercial fishing lakes Le Graviers, Abbey Lakes and Rainbow Lake hold carp up to 100 lb, along with Lake Keltcherhoef in Belgium.
Two new, large pike species in Europe "discovered"
Due to intensive research of scientists in the last years, two new pike species were described. The Southern Pike (Esox cisalpinus) restricted to Italy (potentially present in other European water bodies in the Mediterranean area) in 2011 and the Aquitanian Pike (Esox aquitanicus) native in France, in 2014. Both species reach interesting sizes of around 10 kg and over 100 cm. Unfortunately they hybridize with the Northern Pike (Esox lucius), so stocking programs should be stopped in the native range of this newly discovered species.
Freshwater Snapper - possible record from Solomon Islands
A specimen around 24 kg (53 lb) was caught by a wellknown Australian angler on an exploratory trip with Solomon Sport Fishing Safaris. This could be a new rod & reel record and also the new maximum size for the Freshwater Snapper orSpot Tail Bass. Length and weight are only estimations as there were no scales or measuring tapes on hand at the time of capture and the fish was released alive.
New 32 kg (over 70 lb) Barred Sorubim world record
A 32 kg (over 70 lb) specimen was caught by Pablo di Santi, director of the TV program „Tiempo de Pesca“ in the Rio Parana in Argentina last year. The catch was reported by Argentina Fishing Adventures, the most important foreign tour operator in Argentina. The species should not be confused with the far larger Spotted Sorubim.
First picture of an Indian Mottled Eel in record-size
Right after we reported the first rod & reel record last year, we got the picture of a really large specimen from Mr. Hossain, a scientist in Bangladesh. The 175 cm (69 inch) specimen is a commercial catch from the Surma River. The men in the picture hold the giant eel a bit unlucky , so the true size is difficult to see.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
