EricM in 2014 IGFA Records publication

[EricM]

A few months ago I told you I had been contacted by the International Game Fish Association for some information. Well, the 2014 IGFA World Record Gamefishes book came in the mail today and by golly, they used some of my info in one of their feature sections, "Whiskers of the World". It is about the ten most popular catfish species in the world.

What a rush! They selected three of my pictures (blue, flathead, and channel cats), used a sketch of my break-away dropper weight rig, and inserted my short article (and picture of me!) on species tactics for blue and flathead catfish.

I am so honored by this! I think I'll get a couple extra copies, uhh, for my grandchildren. Whoo-eeee!!



Aw poop, now not only does my stomach strain my shirt buttons, but my chest does too. emoBigsmile emoBigsmile

You have to join the IGFA to get it. I wish I could scan the article and put it on here, but it is copyrighted.
