On January 16, 2025, Kaitlyn Bui etched her name into sportfishing history while fishing the flats of Honolulu, Hawaii. During the outing, she landed a 6-pound Pacific Bonefish, setting the IGFA Women’s 12 lb. Line Class World Record for the species.
Under the guidance of Chris Wright, Kaitlyn hooked the record fish using a crab for bait. After a quick yet skillful 5-minute fight, she successfully brought the bonefish to hand. The fish was then weighed on a certified scale to verify its size before Kaitlyn released it safely back into the water.
