Tying knots with 1 kg. (2 lb.) line may seem a nearly impossible feat at times – never mind using it to catch a world record fish. That is exactly what Richard Hart did on May 21st when he landed a 22 lb. 1 oz. Jack Crevalle while fly fishing Barra del Colorado, Costa Rica.
Rich skillfully played the jack for an hour, before it was landed, weighed and released. Despite a long battle, Rich reports the fish swam away in good health. Congratulations on an incredible 10-to-1 catch and a potential men’s 1kg. (2 lb.) tippet class world record! Richard’s Billy Pate Anti-Reverse Tarpon did a fine job too. Thank you to the IGFA for this information.
