    Yeah, I had seen a while back it was a very difficult process for IGFA records. Sorta sucks that you could at any time in your life, you might hook a potential world record but if you ain't got that exact board then you are screwed. You are the man, keep casting!!!

    Someone else needs to start recording world records for fish. Still keeping it fully legitimate with checking video, measuring devices, line, etc. but without dumb rules like how many flies are on your line. If it is legal to use while fishing in the state you’re in then it’s not an issue. I would also keep all fish with a slot size off the list since the records can no longer be beaten or have all catch and release records and if you keep the fish you are disqualified.

    I feel your pain.
    I went through Air Assault School in Hawaii when I was stationed at Schofield Barracks. It's 2 grueling weeks of very physical and mentally demanding torture. On the final day you do a 12 mile road march carrying a standard 35 lb. rucksack. I was a Forward Observer used to carrying double that weight, so it wasn't a big deal. But it's still a 12 mile road march after getting your ass kicked for 2 weeks.
    When the march if finished you line up and the instructors go through each rucksack to make sure that you were carrying the equipment that was on the list they gave us prior to the march. I had everything... except my ink pen... which my wife had borrowed the night before (without me knowing) and failed to return it. So I was failed.
    It was over 25 years ago but I still feel that disappointment in my stomach. It sucked so bad. But I know that, minus one ink pen, I'm Air Assault qualified. I'm also divorced from that woman. ;-)

I know that's not the case with your catch, but there are guys out there with 50+ IFGA "world records" that intentionally use inappropriately light line and just go around leaving flies stuck in the mouths of a bunch of fish before they finally catch one just to claim one of these silly world records.

First off I think it's total BS the IGFA tells someone else about the results of your fish. We're talking the IGFA not some fish contest down at Joes bar n grill. On that, just me , I am real disappointed. I really thought that organization was better than that.
    Then to say oh there's a rule , just a slight little thing , you used two flies. You might could understand if it gave you a unfair advantage. I don't see it. My final answer there is they didn't want you to have it.
    Ok , had to take a smoke break , calm down. I thought about deleting this but thats not who I am and I stayed aboard so I won't say more on that but ask you how you happened to be using a fly rod and understand I know not where you were or target species. I'm a old fisherman that feels a connection to other fisher people especially those toting a fly rod. I always wanted to fish with one , like most it Intemadated me , unlike most I was too hard headed to quit. Finally some guys named Flip , Jose' , Stu and Ole Lefty gave me lessons.
