The IGFA 424-page softcover book not only lists the all-tackle freshwater and saltwater world records for men and women, but also line class, length, fly rod and junior records. Even catching an all-tackle record doesn't require spending a fortune to chase such fish as a 1500-pound bluefin tuna, as there are hundreds of lesser records to shoot for especially since the IGFA started accepting just about any unlisted fish over a pound and considered to be large for the species.
We did have some life with a few keepers and some shorts coming over the rail. Also saw quite a few swings and misses along with a couple of fish busted off.
The bitter cold is only a memory now, but gale warnings are up for Tuesday -- with southeast winds gusting to 35 mph. The winds are expected to drop to 10-15 mph out of the west by Wednesday.
