Spirit Lake, Iowa (June 25, 2007) ­ On June 6, 2007 Canadian Adam Konrad landed what could be the new world record trout. Caught on 6-pound test line the giant rainbow trout was taken out of the Lake Diefenbaker system of Saskatchewan. Konrad¹s catch weighed in at 43-pound, 6-ounces, which would break the current all-tackle trout record of 42-pound, 6-ounces.

Konrad and identical twin brother Sean are no strangers to hauling in record-breaking trout. Sean currently holds the record for 12-pound test line, with a trout weighing 33-pounds, 6-ounces also taken from Lake Diefenbaker.

Adam was fishing with an Abu Garcia® Ambassadeur® reel to land a trout that measured 38.5 inches and had a girth of 33 inches.

Adam¹s trout has been submitted through the International Fish and Game Association to verify a new world record all-tackle trout. If the record does not stand in the 6-pound category it will bump Sean¹s current world record in the 12-pound category.
