Posted on February 10, 2022 IGFA approves 2021 world records The International Game Fish Association has approved records set in 2021, plus one one carried over from August 31, 2020 when Hunter Keel (12) boated the male junior category dolphin of 65 pounds after a 17-minute battle in Washington Canyon. The IGFA approved 217 freshwater and 205 saltwater records of which 45 percent were released.
Those trips board at 11 30 the night before and sail at midnight. The Wednesday marine weather forecast is for southwest winds at 10-15 knots and 2-4-foot seas.

Bob Matthews at Fisherman s Den in Belmar Marina says the cold has shut down most fishing, and the Ocean Explorer is the only boat fishing.
Posted on February 6, 2022 They need a bigger scale at Cabo Catching a 1000-pound game fish is a great challenge, but not being able to find a scale large enough to weigh it has to be a disappointment.
