Vicki D. Martin has been pursuing IGFA World Records for nearly a decade. She landed her first IGFA World Record in 2015 while fishing for salmon during a trip to Alaska, catching a pink salmon on 12-pound test. This sparked her interest in light tackle angling, a passion that led her and her husband, Stan Martin, to chase these records worldwide. Since then, Vicki has set 104 IGFA World Records, more than half of which were achieved using 12-pound test line or lighter. Notably, she has set eighteen IGFA World Records on 2-pound test, thirteen on 4-pound test, and holds three IGFA All-Tackle Length World Records. Vicki has traveled throughout the U.S., Canada, and Brazil, and although she is primarily a freshwater angler, she also holds several saltwater records for sheepshead.
