Picture of the heaviest jaguar on scientific record
In the tradition of having all the available data about the heaviest cats recorded by scientists, pictures are a basic fact that we most have.
 
So, just like we have the picture of the heaviest tiger (Nepalese "Sauraha" male), lion (Etosha male) and leopard (Namibia male), here it is the picture of the heaviest jaguar in scientific records:

The text is in Spanish and translated to English is this:
“Photo No. 7: The weight of the jaguar varies greatly according with the geographical region from the Central Americans of 50 kg to specimens like this of 148 kg captured for studies with radio-collar in the northern Pantanal.”
 
Is important to mention that its belly is practically flat, which suggest that contrary to my previous statements, it seems that this huge jaguar was “empty belly”, not like the 159 kg jaguar of Sasha Siemel. I will email to Dr Cavalcanti again, maybe she have the body measurements of this great cat.
 
Here is the document (also in Spanish):

In the video, we can see that the handkerchief on the eyes of the jaguar is the same than that of the video, so I am 100% sure that this is the record jaguar of 148 kg. Rest my case.
