That is a big fish. Nice job
That's awsome they gave him free guide service for life.
That is my kind of guy, wanted to keep fishing after, but had to go and certify. Great catch!

What an incredible experience it must have been to have caught that fish!
That´s a incredible fish, but this record has been broken last weak by a Brazilian fisherman. He captured a 28,9 pounder fish with 109 centimeters (3.57 feet) Pictures of this incredible fish can be found in a Brazilian Fishing Forum named "Turma do Bigua". Just search for a topic named "EXCLUSIVO-Tucunaré com 28.9lb. Sim, ele existe. Fotos Aqui". and the best thing is that this record was released back to nature, it was not sent to IGFA to be analised.
Congratulation to both of these fishermen. And it is great to know that monster still exists.
Way to go bill, show'em what iowa's made of!
That is awesome, I bet that was really fun to catch!
WOW! I was stationed in Panama and caught ALOT of peacock bass out of Gatun Lake. What fighters they were! I cannot immagine the thrill of haul'N in one that size!! AWESOME!!
I almost forgot, HEY BILL! Take me with when you go back!
Thats awesome....I would love to go catch some peacocks someday!
two words. BIG FISH!!! Amazing!
Bigao i dont know what other fish your looking at but they fooled you this is still the world record according to the IGFA
Thats a beautiful fish. Great job
Holy crap!! nice!!
I tried in vain to catch one of those darn things on Kawaii (yes they are non-native!) but no luck. They wouldn't hit regular bass tackle...they are lockjaw there. He musta had the mojo hand, or a Dupont spinner.
NOW thats a fish that was worth the fight!... NICE catch
Thats awesome...canada goose outlet

Deal or no Deal
Now it is official, there is a new world record in the IGFA files.
See at the IGFA web site.
A 29.1 oz spckled Peacock Bass was caught.
Well, it seems to me that there is an implication in this questions that everything could be done with web application. You know it would be really very great to know the answers to this questions. The presentation would be very interesting. PLAYDIUM STORE
