IGFA International Angling Rules
The following angling rules have been formulated by the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) to promote ethical
and sporting angling practices, to establish uniform regulations for the compilation of world game fish records, and to
provide basic angling guidelines for use in fishing tournaments and any other group angling activities.
The word “angling” is defined as catching or attempting to catch fish with a rod, reel, line, and hook as outlined in the
IGFA International Angling Rules. There are some aspects of angling that cannot be controlled through rule making, however.
Angling regulations cannot insure an outstanding performance from each fish, and world records cannot indicate
the amount of difficulty in catching the fish. Captures in which the fish has not fought or has not had a chance to fight
do not reflect credit on the fisherman, and only the angler can properly evaluate the degree of achievement in establishing
the record.
Only fish caught in accordance with IGFA International Angling Rules, and within the intent of these rules, will be considered
for world records. Following are the rules for freshwater and saltwater fishing and a separate set of rules for AllTackle
Length and fly fishing. Fish caught in violation of laws or regulations governing the recreational catch or harvest
of species or waters are not eligible for an IGFA World Record.
