DULUTH, Minn. — The International Game Fish Association has scoured its records database to find out which lure types and which lure brands have caught the most world-record fish, and the results probably won't surprise many Northland anglers.
The association looked at 19,600 records for 1,649 species of fresh and saltwater fish, including 6,714 current record holders and 12,946 retired records, fish that once held the record but have since been beaten.
The fish species include everything from Acara Paragaio, to Zander Volga. There are 37 types of bass alone, including largemouth, smallmouth, guadalupe, striped, spotted and white, among others.
