Special Anglers Tournament 2013
On April 27, 2013, the IGFA partnered with Make A Difference Fishing to host the 13th annual Special Anglers Tournament at the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum in Dania Beach, Florida. More than 200 families with children who have physical and neurological challenges joined us for a great day filled with fishing, face painting, fish rubbing art activities and virtual reality fishing. No matter how many fish were caught, every angler went home a winner at the Special Anglers Tournament. Each participant received a rod and reel sponsored by Fish Florida as well as a t-shirt. A light breakfast and lunch were also provided for this FREE event. At the end of the day, every child was awarded a trophy and Walmart gift card, as well as iPods, cameras, and other amazing gifts donated by Make a Difference Fishing.

May 2013 Inshore Grand Slam Highlight
Norwegian angler Cato Nilssen recently traveled to the Caribbean to target some of the premier inshore game fish species this region has to offer. While fishing Cayo Largo, Cuba on March 20th, Nilssen accomplished an IGFA Inshore Super Grand Slam; catching a bonefish, permit, snook, and tarpon in a single day. Under the watchful eye of local guide Amauri Bruzon, Nilssen was able to make all of his catches with the fly rod, and all the fish were released alive. Congratulations, Cato, on a great day of fishing!
