Welcome back to Line Testing with IGFA HQ! Ever wonder how the IGFA tests fishing line for World Records? Join IGFA's Nick Haddad as we show you the line testing process with a sample of Black Magic Tough Trace 130 lb monofilament. Comment below if you have any questions or suggestions for lines you want to see tested!
This just in! IGFA Representative Philip Greenman, recently caught this incredible 24.4-kilogram (53-pound, 12-ounce) dusky grouper (Epinephelus marginatus) to potentially set the new IGFA All-Tackle World Record. Greenman was jigging an orange shad about 10 miles offshore from Restinga de Marambaia, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and landed the massive grouper after a 10-minute fight. This catch has the potential to defeat the previous record that was set 30 years prior by almost seven pounds!
Great news that the Great American Outdoors Act is now a law! The IGFA applauds the efforts of our partners at The American Sportfishing Association and the other conservation groups that helped make this possible.
