Member of IGFA and IGFA Trained Observer

Captain Keck is an IGFA Trained Observer capable of going to tournaments all over the world to make sure the IGFA rules are upheld. International Angling Rules Angling rules have been formulated by the International Game Fish Association to promote ethical and sporting angling practices, to establish uniform regulations for the compilation of world game fish records, and to provide basic angling guidelines for use in fishing tournaments and any other group angling activities. Having observers that are trained to identify billfish species under frantic tournament conditions virtually eliminates the need to bring back dead fish to the dock for official scoring. Observers also raise the prestige level and credibility of tournaments while contributing to conservation efforts with the safe release of tournament billfish. IGFA observers are used during fishing tournaments worldwide to ensure adherence to specific tournament event regulations, fish and game laws, and guidelines. Their position is one of considerable responsibility and influence, having the ability to confirm or disqualify tournament catches based their judgment of proper equipment, techniques and sportsmanship. The IGFA World Championship Tournament requires that you win one of the more than 110 qualifying tournaments held in 35 countries to get an invitation. http://www.igfaoffshorechampionship.com/true-world-championship IGFA is a non-profit conservation and record keeping organization with members in over 120 countries and territories. Their 60,000 square foot Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum is open to the public seven days a week in Dania Beach, Florida. http://www.igfa.org/Museum/Visit-the-Museum.aspx What is Observer Training? As release tournaments become more common and cash payouts increase, unbiased observers become vital in reporting rule infractions as well as for identifying billfish species. Over the years, billfish tournaments have transformed into big business enterprises. Many prestigious tournaments now have enormous Calcutta�s and purses as well as large numbers of participating anglers. With huge purses and egos on the line, concern often arises whether all participants are adhering to the letter of the rules. This causes turmoil for tournament directors and, at its worst, prevents tournaments from adopting release formats. An obvious solution is to have observers on boats to ensure a level playing field. But how do you know if observers have been properly trained and where do you go to find them? The answer is simple; IGFA. http://www.igfa.org/Fish/Observers-Search.aspx?Search Email Address: fantasy@fishinglakeontario.com
