IGFA: 26-lb. landlocked Atlantic Salmon’s a new World Record

March 17, 2011 By JD 1 Comment

If landlocked sockeye got this big, you'd never land one!


On March 14, the International Game Fish Association announced that that the 26-pound, 12-ounce landlocked Atlantic Salmon caught last fall by Tom Aufiero of Lafayette, IN in Michigan’s Torch Lake catch is the new IGFA All-Tackle world record for the species.

Aufiero caught the fish on a small shrimp-patterned fly fished on 6-pound tippet with guide guide, Matt Supinski, owner of the Gray Drake Lodge.
