#5724, "RE: Questions on IGFA records??" In response to In response to 0
I have an IGFA line class record and believe me, it takes a long time to get it all said and done. I have the 16lb line class record for Channel Catfish, 44lbs. I caught it on 12lb test, but that's what your basic line off shelf does, always tests higher that it says unless it's IGFA rated line. But ya, they can take up to a year to get them to accept it. I would do what I did. Don't go for any records, just go fishing. Thats how I got mine. And you should have seen that Chronarch sing ! Man oh man, was I glad I had a good drag.
