Saltwater Fishing: Grand Slam and Fishing Records

This program is conducted in collaboration with the International Game Fish Association (IGFA). State all-tackle records for the heaviest fishes caught in Florida waters are maintained for over 73 marine species in both conventional tackle and fly fishing categories. Catches must be made according to IGFA angling rules, available from IGFA, 300 Gulf Stream Way, Dania Beach, FL 33004 for $1 postage and handling charges. The angler's signature on a completed application form must be witnessed by a notary. The application must be accompanied by line or tippet samples and photographs as specified in the IGFA world record requirements. Species which pose a problem of identity require determination by an ichthyologist or qualified fishery biologist.
