The Fish Trophy at the Affiche Bateau continues to grow. For this fourth edition, 55 crews appeared in the final standings?five more than in the 2025 edition. They all gathered in Paimpol, in the Côtes-d'Armor, for two days of particularly hard-fought competition.
The competition is based on a simple principle: finding the best-looking sea bass possible to create a selection of five fish. The competition uses lures and single barbless hooks, and the fish are measured before being released back into the water. Fish à l?Affiche?s stated goal is to promote catch-and-release sea bass fishing.
