Angler Protest Set for February 24 at US Capitol

Comments Off on Angler Protest Set for February 24 at US Capitol

According to Jim Donofrio, Executive Director of the Recreational Fishing Alliance (RFA), organizations representing recreational and commercial fishers will stage a “United We Fish” march on the U.S. Capitol on February 24, 2010, to protest new bans on fishing for red snapper, grouper, amberjack, sea bass, and other saltwater fishes. Donofrio said fishery science is weak and management is broken. The event is designed to get the attention of legislators so they can address the unintended, negative consequences of the Magnuson Stevens Conservation and Management Act, the federal fisheries law.
The event is sponsored by individuals and groups that include but are not limited to RFA, Conservation Cooperative of Gulf Fishermen (CCGF), United Boatmen of New York, United Boatmen of New Jersey, New York Sportfishing Federation, Maryland Saltwater Sportfishermen’s Association and the Fishing Rights Alliance.
To participate or become involved, go to the RFA website and sign up for […]

IGFA Announces Decision On the World Record Bass from Japan

Comments Off on IGFA Announces Decision On the World Record Bass from Japan

The IGFA announced its decision today. The 22 pound, 4.97 ounce largemouth caught in Japan by Manabu Kurita will be shown as a tie. George Perry’s bass that held the record for over 75 years will be considered a tie although it weighed 22 pounds, 4 ounces. The IGFA requires a new record be beat by two ounces to be considered as breaking the old record.

This rule may not make sense, but the reason is scales are much more accurate now than in the past, and most scales in the past were spring loaded and showed pounds and ounces, not tenths and hundredths of ounces and pounds. So it is possible George Perry’s bass weighed as much as Manabu Kurita since the weight was probably rounded off to the nearest ounce.
