Notable catches from the angler with 178 IGFA fishing world records.
Ten world-record redfish catches that sit atop the IGFA record books.
A seasoned record hunter works his way into the books yet again, beating his previous best with massive 283-pound alligator gar that will be the new world record if approved.
The 12-pounder caught by Lea Anne Powell is now IGFA’s 12-pound line-class record.
A group of anglers swordfishing off Morehead City, North Carolina, caught an unusual deep-water fish and landed in the record books.
Laying claim to an IGFA fishing world record could be far easier than you think.
Kids 16 and younger now have more opportunities to set fishing world records.
From oversize permit to grayling, sheepshead to bass, these five most recently approved world record catches are nothing but awesome.
The 9.26-pound snapper, if approved by IGFA, should beat the old record by nearly 30 percent.
A long-time light-tackle angler battled a Costa Rican snook for 20 minutes on 6-pound test to break a men’s IGFA line class record held for nearly 20 years.
Great tackle is needed by top anglers to battle the most important gamefish on the planet, and Shimano seems to be dominating the arena.
Some took seconds, while others lasted hours, but they all went down in history. What’s interesting is how long it took to finish these record-breaking fights.
