IGFA Representative Jeff Harkavy recently returned from a trip to Brazil 🇧🇷 where he landed this beautiful 89-centimeter speckled peacock. With this fish Jeff can potentially set the IGFA All-Tackle Length Fly World Record for the species. He was fishing the Rio Marie in Brazil when this peacock struck his popper fly. After a 6-minute fight Jeff was able to land the potential record. He then recorded the proper measurements on his Official IGFA Measuring Device before releasing the fish safely. This record is currently pending and under review.
On September 22, 2022, Christy McReynolds was fishing the South Holston River in Tennessee when she landed this beautiful 65-centimeter brown trout.
