Eduardo Monteiro recently submitted an application for this impressive 97-centimeter trahira. With this fish Eduardo could potentially tie the IGFA All-Tackle Length World Record for the species. He was fishing the Rio Curua in Brazil 🇧🇷 when this fish exploded on his topwater “maddog”. After a short battle he was able to land this potential record fish. He then recorded the length on his official IGFA Measuring Device and released the fish safely back into the river. This record is currently pending and under review.
For two years, a committee of fishermen has been developing recommendations for actions to enhance coral reef conservation and fishing quality within the Kristin Jacobs Coral Reef Ecosystem Conservation Area (Coral ECA). The Coral ECA includes all marine waters from the St. Lucie Inlet to the north of Biscayne National Park, out to 3 nm.![]()

IGFA Chairman Roy Cronacher has set yet another IGFA Line Class World Record for black grouper! With this 17.04-kilogram (37-pound, 9-ounce) black grouper Roy has set the IGFA Men’s 4-kg (8 lb) Line Class World Record for the species. Roy was fishing off Abacos in the Bahamas 🇧🇸 when this fish struck his live bait. He was able to land the record grouper after a 15-minute fight. Roy then returned to Green Turtle Cay to record an official weight on his certified scale. Pictured along with Roy is the crew aboard the Gladiator that day, Captain Andy Ford, Captain Don McIntosh, and mate Daril McIntosh. Congratulations Roy and crew on an incredible fish!
