The IGFA Passports to Fishing program, supported by Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation, Fish Florida, and Mercury Marine, is a global angling education program for youth and beginner anglers with product support from Bass Pro Shops, Rapala, Plano Fishing, danco pliers, and Zebco.
Fumiya Okuyama, who holds several IGFA World Records for grass carp, may have set another with this 109-centimeter fish. Fumiya was fishing in Saitama Japan on October 20, 2022, when he landed the impressive grass carp on a dry fly. With this fish he could potentially set the IGFA All-Tackle Length Fly World Record for the species. After recording the length on his Official IGFA Measuring Device, he was able to release the fish safely. This record is currently pending and under review.
