The IGFA

For the past five or six years, it has been my annual goal to catch a six-pound smallmouth bass on the fly.  Some years, I was fortunate enough to hit that mark more than once. But there’s also a part of me that always wanted to achieve an IGFA World Record smallmouth on fly.  As you will read in the story that follows, expanding my knowledge of my local fishery and adapting to adversity were both key to me eventually achieving, and surpassing, my goal of catching an IGFA World Record smallmouth.
