Okay, so they fight like a wet sock but I still like grayling for some reason — especially when they come in the extra-jumbo size like this pending all-tackle world record 4-pound, 12 ouncer caught on a nymph in Austria’s Steinfeld River on Nov. 25 by Adriano Garhantini of Rosegg, Austria.
This bruiser “sailfish of the north” was nearly a pound heavier than the current all-tackle record of 3 pounds, 15 ounces, which was taken in June 2008 from Finland’s Latasenojoki River. The paperwork for Garhantini’s big fish is currently being reviewed by the International Game Fish Association’s records committee.
