More than 80 years ago, our founders Michael and Helen Lerner had a vision for an organization that could serve as a beacon for the global angling community and in 1939, the IGFA was born. Fueled by their shared love of angling and a vision to connect anglers from around the world, Michael and Helen laid a solid foundation for an organization whose impact would reach far beyond what they ever could have imagined. ![]()
