International Fish Game Association

The IFGA is considered the world governing body for sport fishing, and they are the keeper of the current world record fish catches database for all species of game fish.   Since its establishment in 1939, the IFGA has been a strong supporter of fishing tournaments and competitive angling events.  Fishing fanatic Ernest Hemingway was among the early officers who chased the records for marlin and sailfish from his home in Key West Florida
