Arapaima !!!
 |
Arapaima
Latin Name: Arapaima Gigas
IGFA World Record 83.00kg/182lb 15oz
Caught by Dave
The two biggest fish originally stocked are yet to make an appearance. However all the others are gaining considerable weight with various gains for this ultimate preditory fish. Probably one of the rarest preditors left on this planet, these fish are very fussy feeders but for the ultimate fishing experience are well worth the effort for the serious fisherman who wants to catch the ultimate of all freshwater fish.Monday, April 21, 2008
African Angler Top Twenty
The largest reliably record Nile perch from Lake Nasser weighed 176kg (392lb). The largest Nile perch caught on an African Angler safari was 6'2" long and had a girth of 4'11". Gerald Eastmure, a 78-year-old tea planter from India, landed this huge perch. The available scales measured up to 220lb which was not enough; this perch has been estimated to weigh 275lb plus.
Marked IGFA on chart - These are the three largest fresh water fish ever caught on rod & line that have been ratified by the IGFA (International Game Fishing Association) as world records. The 230lb fish is the existing all tackle world record Nile perch and the 213Lb and 210lb Nile perch are preceding all tackle world records.
