IGFA Records For September 2008

The biggest news at IGFA last month (as far as I’m concerned) was a record striped bass caught within a few hours of where I live. I had heard about this huge fish on the local news a couple months ago, but I wasn’t able to find a picture until today.

Nova Scotia striped bass

    Armed with a Rapala Magnum lure while fishing Canada’s East Bay, Christian LeVatte, of Sydney Forks, Nova Scotia, landed a striped bass (Morone saxatilis) on May 25, weighing 26.25 kg (57 lb 14 oz). It took the young man 30 minutes to land the fish for a possible boy’s junior class record. The current boy’s junior record is 57 lb 0 oz caught off Isabella Beach, NY 10 years ago.

The Best Fishing Commercials Ever

You don't often see fishing commercials unless you are watching fishing and hunting shows on television. If you don't watch fishing on TV, then you have missed out on some really great commercials. I've taken to time to scan through Youtube to find my favorites for you to enjoy. You know these videos are going to be good, otherwise the title wouldn't contain the words best and ever.

    I never jump on the bandwagon too quickly Simon. Call it old age or just being an internet veteran.
