IGFA Report
New world record catches from the IGFA
Jun 16, 2009
By IGFA (More articles by this author)

World records coordinator Rebecca Wright of the International Game Fish Association provides highlights of nine selected documented fish catches made across the globe including Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the French island of Reunion and the United States, recently submitted for IGFA world records. All are now before the world records committee:

From the remote French island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean, local angler Audrey Ferrand, of Savanna, St Paul, guided by Hugues Ferrand, landed a giant trevally (Caranx ignobilis) on March 5, weighing in at 48 kg (105 lb 13 oz) on women's 60 kg (130 lb) class line.  Using bait it took her over an hour to land the fish while fishing near the island's commune of St Gilles. Reunion, which is about the size of the state of Rhode Island in the USA, is located off Southern Africa, east of Madagascar. The current IGFA women's line class record for the fish is 91 lb  0 oz (41.3 kg) caught in 2004 from the waters of Tanzania, Africa's Latham Island northwest of Reunion.
