Englishman achieves new IGFA records at Kabalebo
Kabalebo Nature Resort
During a recent trip to Kabalebo Nature Resort, UK angler Richard Hart captured an 11.82 kg (26 lb. 1 oz.) giant Trahira (also known as Wolfish).

According to the IGFA, Mr. Hart caught the wolfish on February 23th, 2014. It took the fisherman around one hour and 30 minutes to pull the 'wolf fish' out of the water, which was afterwards released alive.


In case this catch will be approved by the International Game Fish Association (IGFA), it will be the new record for the 8 kg (16 lb.) 'tippet class'. The existing record is 6.58 kg (14 lb 8 oz.).

Wolfish are commonly found in the Amazon area of South America and in the rivers of Guyana, Suriname & French Guyana. They are popular among anglers for their aggressive bite and enthusiastic struggle. This fish will attack anything that looks edible, which makes noisy lures such as poppers and spinners especially effective. They can grow to a maximum weight of 15 kg.

Anglers find the wolfish (Trahira) difficult to handle. Their strong jaws and sharp teeth form a potential threat. They even jump into boats from time to time and can bite unsuspecting fishermen. The current record for a caught wolfish in the 16 -pound 'tippet class' is a fourteen pound weighing 227gram copy, captured in Brazil in 2012.

Kabalebo nature resort has developed a special fishing program with the IGFA to protect the fish in and around the Kabalebo area. This entails that people can only engage in catch and release. Furthermore, Kabalebo Nature Resort is a member and a representative of the IGFA in Suriname.
