An angler from Poland set a new record. This is how much the huge specimen weighed
A resident of Podkarpacie caught a huge fish from the salmon family (Salmonidae). The fisherman set a new record.
The editorial office of “Tygodnik Nadwiślański” informed about the achievement of an avid angler from the south of Poland. Grzegorz Robak caught lake trout (Salmo trutta morpha lacustris) of rare sizes.
A fishing enthusiast went to Lake Tarnobrzeg on Tuesday (July 14). It was from this body of water that he pulled the mighty fish.
A member of the Polish Fishing Association, Construction Club, revealed to “TN” how much the specimen weighed.
A new record was broken. The fishing world is buzzing!
Robak admitted that the fish “jumped out of the water several times, trying to free itself from the hook.” – Fortunately, I had a stronger set – he pointed out.
The trout was placed on a certified scale, which showed eight and a half kilograms. This could mean one thing – a new country record, officially confirmed.
Records that no one has been able to break for decades
