Starting January1st of 2011 the IGFA began accepting applications for new All-Tackle Length Records.  This catch photo and release format is perfectly suited for us kayak anglers and hopefully we will see kayak fishing angler's leading in the records for the length category.

With the conservation efforts surrounding the fishing industry today, there was always one hold out.  Despite the conservation efforts the International Game Fish Association, their rules for recording world record fish usually resulted in the fish's death.  That has finally changed.
