IGFA Representative Christopher Tan of Malaysia caught-and-released this incredible 146-centimeter Nile perch to set the new IGFA All-Tackle Length World Record. In early August 2019, Tan was casting a Halco Laser Pro 190 in Murchison Falls, Uganda, and landed the record fish after a 10-minute fight. Tan measured the fish, snapped a few pictures, and quickly released it alive to set his 11 th IGFA World Record.
Aussie angler Sahra Pitman has been on a roll to close out 2019 after setting her fourth IGFA World Record in the past year. Pitman caught this beautiful 12.25-kilogram (27-pound, 1-ounce) golden trevally to set the new IGFA Women’s 6-kg (12 lb) Line Class World Record while fishing in Shark Bay, Western Australia. The record fish hit a McCarthy soft plastic she had been throwing and put up a 20-minute fight prior to being landed. Congratulations to Sahra, as this catch is currently the largest Line Class record of any received for golden trevally.
