A monster from the Polish depths has just written a new page in world fishing history. Under the banner of the Polish Fishing Academy , two passionate fishermen achieved the unthinkable: capturing a gigantic wels catfish measuring 292 cm , thus setting a new world record for the species.

The feat, immortalized in this impressive photograph, testifies not only to the fish's extraordinary size, but also to the respect and technical skill required for such a fight. The wels catfish, silent king of European waters, continues to fuel legends and push the boundaries of modern fishing.
Krzysztof Pyra and Adrian Gontarz , the two protagonists of this historic capture, perfectly embody the spirit of catch and release and boundless passion. Their success symbolizes the culmination of years of experience, observation, and a profound understanding of their environment.
“Mamy to !!!” – We did it! A cry of victory that resonates far beyond Poland, reaching the entire international fishing community.
