On January 13, 2017, Jose Bravo landed this toothy 9.07-kilogram (20-pound) payara to set the IGFA Men’s 10-kg (20 lb) Tippet Class World Record for the species. Jose was fishing a Rio Guaviare tributary in Colombia 🇨🇴, when this payara struck his deceiver fly. After recording the weight on a certified scale and snapping a few photos, Jose was able to safely release the fish back into the river.
