Record 2.02-pound, 11.1-inch Rio Grande Cichlid

 My San Antonio reported first: Charles Dewey is no stranger to fishing records, but his latest is a first. The retired Universal City police officer who now fishes five times a week has more than 100 current state records. However, Dewey, 56, has never held a world record, until now. Dewey’s 2.02-pound, 11.1-inch Rio Grande cichlid, which he caught in Lake Dunlap near New Braunfels in Sept. 2011, was certified by the International Game Fish Association this week as world record for the species. Dewey caught the cichild, which are related to tilapia, using an earthworm as bait and ultralight tackle, he said. Dewey released the fish after weighing it at an official scale on Lake Dunlap.
