The Largest Lenok (Brachymystax savinovi) Ever Caught
Back to Records
The World Records Authority formally recognises a landmark achievement in the field of sport fishing — certifying a new world record for the largest specimen of Brachymystax savinovi, commonly known as the Lenok.
On 13 September 2020, Sergey Kuplenskiy successfully landed a monumental catch on the banks of the Pilda River, Russian Federation. This extraordinary specimen weighed in at 4.12 kilograms (9 lbs 1 oz) and measured 63 centimetres in length. Meticulously verified under the All-Tackle technical category.
By virtue of this documentation, Sergey Kuplenskiy is officially entered into the WRA global archives, solidifying his place in the history of international angling excellence.
WRA is proud to honour Sergey Kuplenskiy for this monumental achievement and for raising awareness of water safety through his extraordinary paddleboard journey along the Florida coast.
