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
