Do you have any potential IGFA world record fish in your lake?
Question:
Do you have any potential IGFA world record fish in your lake?
Stuart’s answer:
Sure! We are the holders of the world record Mekong catfish with a magnificent fish of 86.64kg (191lb). This was a different fish to our old record of 84kgs (185lb 2oz).
We also hold the Chao Phraya catfish at 41kg (90lb). We have at least 15 species of fish over IGFA world record size, and I have marked them with a red star * for you. We have others that are close. In total we probably have at least 70 IGFA records in our lake!
Here is a list of fish we know we have over current IGFA records. In total we have 44 different species in the lake. The list changes frequently as we obtain more big fish. Our main stock is now complete, but our agent is always looking for exceptional fish for us. As you can see, some of our fish are potential IGFA world records.
