On August 15, 2024, Murilo Soares Mota made history while fishing in Brazil’s Tres Marias Lake, landing a stunning 24.803 inch blue peacock bass. With this impressive catch, Mota set the IGFA All-Tackle Length World Record for the species. The record-setting fish struck while Mota was casting a lure, and after a successful fight, he measured it using an official IGFA Measuring Device before safely releasing it back into the water.
