Congratulations to angler Bill Pepper (right) from Maine and Plummers Lodges Tree River guide Craig Blackie on this amazing Arctic char! Not only does it beat the existing world record (also caught on the Tree), it is also Bill's first-ever char, caught during his first-ever visit to the Tree! His lure of choice? A Rokβt Devlet from Eppinger. Our friend John Cleveland has to be happy about that!
From Plummers Lodges:
PENDING WORLD RECORD - ARCTIC CHAR
The Tree River is arguably the best-known Arctic Char fishery on the planet. The source of numerous line class and length records, the Tree most famously produced the IGFA All-Tackle World Record of 32 pounds, 9 ounces on July 31, 1981. Many reasonably believed that mark would never be beaten.
However, on August 12, 2025, a lucky (and skillful) Plummerβs Lodges guest landed, hugged and released a 35 pound, 8 ounce Arctic Char from the Tree River. Large enough for a new World Record.
The decision to release this epic fish was easy. After careful photos and videos, this magnificent specimen was sent back to continue his journey up the Tree.
Haters gonna hate, and the fish is so big some will scream AI, but scales were calibrated and tested, and tested again. This fish is 100% legit. Killing it would have made securing a new World Record easier, but there are more important things than names in a book.
All hail the magical Tree River and the famous, enormous Arctic Char that call it home.
