Jason Schall recently submitted this 1.13-kilogram (2-pound, 8-ounce) sheepshead to potentially set the IGFA Men’s 2-kg (4 lb) Line Class World Record for the species. Sheepshead are one of three new species that are now eligible for line class, tippet class, and junior record categories. A reminder that for any vacant Line or Tippet Class World Record the fish must weigh at least half of the line or tippet class used to catch the fish. This record is currently pending and under review.
Barry Osborn recently submitted this 91-centimeter longnose gar to potential set the IGFA All-Tackle Length World Record for the species. Barry was fishing in Lake Granbury, Texas, when this gar took his bait. After a short fight he was able to net this potential record fish. Barry then recorded the proper measurements on his official measuring device and released the fish safely. This record is currently pending and under review.
