Massive fish caught: new angling record set

Jakub Vágner Sets New Record with 2.72-Meter Catfish Catch

Jakub Vágner, a renowned angler from the Czech Republic, has made headlines once again with his latest catch. On a recent fishing trip to the Vranov Reservoir, Vágner successfully reeled in a colossal catfish measuring an impressive 2.72 meters (272 cm), breaking his own previous record.

The struggle to land the giant from the depths lasted a grueling 50 minutes, but Vágner's determination paid off. After a triumphant pull, the monstrous catfish was safely brought to the surface. However, in line with conservation efforts, Vágner released the catfish back into the lake to ensure its survival.

Germany's Strict Catch and Release Regulations

In Germany, the "catch and release" principle is not just a fishing strategy, but a legal requirement. The German Animal Protection Act prohibits the practice, considering it animal cruelty. In many German states, catfish (Wels catfish) are subject to size limits and closed seasons, restricting when they can be caught and kept.

Anglers are encouraged to practice catch and release, especially for trophy-sized fish, to ensure their survival and continued breeding in the wild. It is essential for anglers to handle fish gently and minimize air exposure to increase their chances of survival after release. Local regulations and permits should always be consulted for detailed requirements.
