Our friends at the International Game Fish Association were kind enough to open their record book and share the photos and catch details of these 10 all-tackle and line-class records. It’s about giants-specifically, the biggest world-record catfish of all time. And while you probably don’t want to fry the fillets off of a trophy catfish, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more delicious fish than the smaller keepers.īut this story isn’t about small cats.

We have been told the whole story along with photos will emerge once the trout has been mounted." "He also got it weighed on certified scales to confirm that this was the fish of a lifetime. "Once he had the fish landed, the angler wrapped it in his shirt to keep it cool before getting ice from a nearby salmon farm and rushing it to a taxidermist," Mr Cosgrove said. The witnesses said the fish was landed after a two-and-a-half-hour fight. They are calling for any information about the giant catch, which they say would be a new world record.įish & Game spokesperson Richard Cosgrove said witnesses saw the fish being caught in the Pukaki-Ohau A canal.
