IGFA Record Holders?

Do we have any IGFA World or State Record holders here?

I have 3 State Line Class Records for Smallmouth and Channel Cats.

Very good. I just got the IGFA news letter and I'm in there, finally. Last year, well, 2008, I caught a 43lb Grass Carp on 2lb test, but the line tested to high, it averaged out at 2.8 and needed to be 2.5lbs or lower to qualify. I smashed the current record of 20+ lbs, hope to get it this year with Ande line. I have another SLCR coming soon for the last channel in KY, then I'm working on the smallmouth and a few LM entries, this gona chase the Grass Carp WLC Records again. Last year I tied the KY state record for Green sunfish at 1.5lb, came within 3 oz of breaking the warmouth record, and few pounds from state record grass carp till it was broken last year. My biggest to date is 47lbs. Here are a few photos.

Goldy - I think I caught the Worlds Longest Goldfish, either with this one or the other one. One was over 18", more like 20"+ and according to the GBWR, the longest is 18". But I need to verify it 100% this year.



I rescued a bat that fell into the pond

Another Monster, my hand is just a tad or 8" long, you can see how long he is

Yea I'm ready, BEEN READY FOREVER. Cant wait for BPS to have their spring sale so I can use these gift certificates and get some more gear

Also gona get a carp mat this year, I catch a lot of carp, so I guess its time to get one, I get tired of picking of grass, etc. Makes for a better fish and photo.
