12-year-old, Nichola Louise Ward recently caught and released her very first ferox trout which weighed in at an impressive 6.12-kilograms (13-pounds, 8-ounces) 🙌🏼. She was fishing with her dad and Captain Tomi Kurman in Lough Corrib, Ireland 🇮🇪. Ferox trout is a name typically used to describe large, piscivorous brown trout, however, many scientists believe them to be a separate species based on genetic variations in certain lochs.

NOAA Fisheries Service announced the most recent status levels of fisheries in the United States 🇺🇸 and some of our favorite recreational species unfortunately made the overfished/overfishing list. As a point of clarification: 'overfished' means the population size is smaller than sustainable levels, while 'overfishing' means the species has a current fishing mortality level higher than sustainable levels.

Let's throw it 🔙 to 35 years ago when Dave Hurst set the IGFA Men’s 2-kg (4 lb) Line Class World Record with this impressive 14.62-kg (32-pound, 4-ounce) African pompano . Dave and his Fenwick rod prevailed after a mere 2-hour and 55-minute battle with this record pompano 🏆. He was drifting live goggle-eye out of Palm Beach, Florida 🌴, and weighed in his first and only IGFA Record at the Sailfish Marina!
