250lb+ Arapaima

Posted on 2010-01-14

The debate around the size of Arapaima continues! Here is a fish that is quite clearly much bigger than the 86kg/191lb we weighed and measured for those lovely people at the IGFA, yet the local guides are putting 80kgs on it! Not on your nelly Mark, your fish is at least 113kg/250lbs and possibly considerably more when compared to the fish we have actually weighed which is no mean feat. Glad you finally broke your big fish jinx on your last days fishing this, look forward to seeing you do better next year Mark!
