Daniel B. recently brought this story to my attention. A potential world record fish was caught at Lake Biwa, Japan. It weighed in at 10.12 kg (22.31 lbs.) It is my understanding that an IGFA record (under 25 lbs.) has to be broken by 2 ounces, so it likely won't hold. Still a heck of a fish! We'll keep an eye on this story.
