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 84kgs (185lb 2oz). We also have another IGFA world record claim pending for a Chao Phraya catfish of 41kg (90lb). We actually have 15 others over 100kg. We have at least 14 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 have stocked to date. In total we have 29 different species. The list changes frequently as we obtain more big fish.
