Going BIG with topwater: A pending IGFA World Record Jack Crevalle

Smile, dude...topwater is fun! (IGFA Photo)

You know me…I’m a huge fan of throwing topwater for anything that swims…but I’ve never come close to having my plug sucked down by anything like this pending all-tackle IGFA world record jack crevalle!

The 66-pound, 2 ouncer smashed a Willamson Jet Popper tossed by Carlos Alberto Leal Simoes, of Luanda, who was fishing Barra Do Dande, near Angola, Africa with guide Marcio de Oliveira Inocencio. The beast took 15 minutes to subdue and weighed nearly 8 pounds more than the current IGFA record, a fish that was also caught in Africa 10 years back.

Damn, I want some!
