Nassim Joaquin, of Quintana Roo, Mexico landed a mutton snapper, (Lutjanus, analis) weighing 3.62 kg (8 lb 0 oz) while fly-fishing Cozumel Q.Roo, Mexico. Nassim who is the current IGFA Representative for Cozumel Island, Mexico, was using a Crazy Charlie on 10 kg (20 lb) tippet. He made the catch on June 23 and took 10 minutes in landing the fish. The current record is 7 lb 12 oz caught 10 years ago. Nassim who keeps a log of all of his catches found that coincidentally, exactly six years to the June 23 date he caught another mutton snapper on fly 27.5 inches long and weighing in the 13 lb range, almost twice the then world record. But that potential record was rejected because the uncertified scale sent in with the documentation was not accurate. Now knowing the proper annual scale certification protocol Nassim hopes to land his second record to go along with the one he also holds currently in the 10 kg saltwater fly category for goliath grouper (Epinephelus itajara).

Italy IGFA Representative Massimo Brogna, of Catania, landed a dentex, (Dentex, dentex) weighing 5.6 kg (12 lb 6 oz) on 3 kg (6 lb) line while fishing Palau, Italy.

Massimo who has fished on several top teams in the IGFA Offshore World Championship is hoping to best the current 11 lb 5 oz record caught nine years ago.
