This June marks a momentous occasion for the International Game Fish Association as we celebrate our 85th anniversary. Since our founding by Michael Lerner in 1939, the IGFA has dedicated itself to advancing the sport of angling, setting the gold standard for world records, angling rules, and promoting conservation and education. Our journey has been one of passion, perseverance, and profound impact on the recreational fishing community worldwide.

As we commemorate this milestone, we hope you enjoy this short video that captures the essence of our rich history and the incredible achievements of the IGFA. From pioneering conservation efforts and scientific research to fostering a love for angling in the next generation, the video serves as a powerful reminder of why the IGFA remains an iconic institution in the world of sportfishing.

As a valued member of our community, your support has been instrumental in our success. We invite you to watch this special video and reflect on the legacy we have built together. In honor of our 85th anniversary, we ask you to deepen your commitment to the IGFA by upgrading to a Lifetime Membership for a one-time fee of $1,750.00 USD. This investment not only solidifies your place in the IGFA's storied history but also ensures our continued efforts in conservation, science, and youth angling education can continue for years to come.

If your membership has lapsed or expired, we warmly encourage you to renew and rejoin the IGFA family. Your renewed support will help us maintain the momentum of our vital work and preserve the sport of angling for future generations.

We are proud of what we have accomplished together over the past 85 years and look forward to the future with optimism and excitement. Thank you for being a part of the IGFA legacy and for your unwavering dedication to our mission. Together, we can continue to make a difference in the world of angling and beyond.
