IGFA Awarded First ever Florida Largemouth Bass World Record

Post by WB Staff »

The International Gamefish Association (IGFA) just awarded Kyle Hall Fishing the first ever Florida Largemouth Bass World Record. IGFA has recently announced changes to bass world records including making Florida Bass eligible for world records. Kyle Hall caught his 15 lbs 13 oz record bass at O.H. Ivie on March 21st and submitted his catch for spawning purposes to the Toyota ShareLunker Program. This fish successfully spawned with a male descendant of another Legacy Class ShareLunker at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center - Texas Parks and Wildlife and the offspring were stocked into the public reservoirs of Texas that contributed Legacy Class ShareLunkers this season. This fish was the heaviest bass in Texas to be genetically verified as a pure Florida Largemouth Bass this year. This fish also marked the 37th largest bass in Texas history. Congratulations, Kyle and thank you for supporting a future full of Bigger Better Bass in the state of Texas!
