In the hands of the IGFA: Eric Christopher Otte, of Wahoo, Nebraska, landed this enormous 18.46 kg (40 lb 11 oz) shortraker rockfish (Sebastes borealis) while jigging the deep waters of Cross Sound, Alaska on June 22nd with Capt. Joe Calanara. Larger photo below. This potential All-Tackle record beats the existing IGFA record by almost five pounds. Congratulations, Eric on a great catch and potential world record!
