Hello out there. Just letting everyone know the ILSFA said its official and posted on the Records link. Everyone who knows me says I fish hard and diserve it. Iv seen folks fish harder for less. Just how lucky can ya get, I got lucky. No matter how many hours I spent on the beach I still should not have caught this fish. Maybe a big hammer or a big tiger but I wasnt supposs to catch this fish. Thanks to Will for letting me know about the ILSFA. Before I knew about yall I thought we were a dieing breed.
