“Texas” Roy Crush said the snook he caught on April 26 in Quepos, Costa Rica could have eaten his previous personal-best snook. At 58.6 pounds and 50 inches long, Crush’s giant Pacific snook is certainly the fish of a lifetime. It crushed the existing IGFA 20-lb. line-class record of 47 pounds, and it’s just a pound shy of being the largest snook on record with IGFA.Editorial Staff
Here’s a blast from the past from the International Game Fish Association (IGFA). In May of 1998, angler Ken Paulie caught this 123-lb. flathead catfish from Elk City Reservoir in Independence, Kansas. It set the IGFA all-tackle world record for the species, which still stands today.Editorial Staff
