New! Catch & Release Video Contest
Shoot your catch and win a prize! (Of course we mean with a camera!) Young anglers up to age 16 are invited to enter our first video contest by submitting a short video – no more than three minutes – showing others how to properly release fish. Share your best release tips and your enthusiasm for good fishing practices, and we just might pick your video for the IGFA Junior Angler website, or maybe even the next issue of the International Angler!
The details:
