Description
World record for peacock bass caught in Rio Marié by Rodrigo Salles, CEO of Untamed Angling Brazil The International Game Fish Association (IGFA) announced that Rodrigo M. Salles has achieved a new world record for peacock bass! On September 4, 2021, Rodrigo Moreira Salles was fly fishing in Rio Marie, Brazil, when he caught a 91-centimeter peacock bass (Cichla Temensis). With this fish, Rodrigo broke the IGFA All-Tackle Length World Record for the species. Rodrigo caught the huge peacock bass with a streamer-type fly after a fierce struggle in the midday heat. Salles had originally applied for the All-Tackle Length record for Fly, but was using a 50-lb class tippet, so his catch was entered in the All-Tackle Length category. A reminder that the fly category allows for a 20 pound class tippet maximum as per the IGFA fly fishing
