After setting the Women’s 12-lb Tippet Class World Record last year, Elizabeth Johnson is back with an even bigger tripletail. She recently caught this beautiful 4.31-kilogram (9-pound, 8-ounce) tripletail to potentially set the new IGFA Women’s 8-kg (16 lb) Tippet Class World Record 🏆. On July 12, Elizabeth was fly fishing Apalachicola, Florida, and enticed the tripletail to eat a shrimp pattern fly. Congratulations, Elizabeth, on another great catch on the fly! #fishIGFA
The IGFA had planned to host fishing clinics around the world in celebration of International Angling Day 2020 🎣, but the global COVID-19 pandemic changed our plans. Instead, we asked anglers from around the world to share photos and memories from their favorite day on the water on social media, using the hashtag #igfaday2020, they did not dissapoint 🙌🏼. Enjoy this short video that truly captures the theme of this year’s International Angling Day, "Fishing Around the World 🌎", and thank you to everyone that participated!
Where in the world are Passports to Fishing kits? Peru 🇵🇪! IGFA Representative, Jean Marcel Gondonneau Frank and Gianpaolo Scotto, the main instructor, hosted an event for IGFA Day in 2019 using the contents of the kit to educate 17 new anglers! 🎣
Scotto recalls, “It was a good event, the kids had a really great time.” 🙌🏼
Even though events are on hold for 2020, we look forward to seeing new young anglers in Peru! Check out other past and present Passports to Fishing events ➡️: igfa.org/passports-to-fishing/.
