Hey friends..
so today was a cool day..turns out the Snub Nose Pompano i caught few weeks back is a Sri Lankan record for this species. The catch/record has been officially ratified by the Ceylon Sport Fishing Club.

In case you missed the action..check the video of the catch @ https://youtu.be/Po_B1EevU0o 👍

Tackle Used:
10'6 Century Sling-Shot 1267 rod (custom)
Penn Slammer 4500
20lb PowerPro main line

Below is a message posted by the club!!

" I'am please to inform Anglers in Sri Lanka that a 4.63 Kg Snubnose Pompano (Trachinotus Blochii) was caught by Sacha Peiris on the 18th of December 2021 while Surf Fishing Off Bambalapitiya and qualifies for a Sri Lankan record for this specie of fish. It is a rare specie and will also be submitted internationally as not many of these fish have been recorded even internationally. I'am currently in touch with the IGFA to have submission done internationally. Congratulations Sacha, great achievement. The certification and other work is in progress and will be informed in due course"
