The IGFA is launching a video competition for young anglers who can show that they know how to safely handle and return fish.
Fisherman the world over up to 16 years of age are invited to submit a video entry of no more than three minutes in length and the best might find themselves in the IGFA’s digital magazine.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s a tarpon, a carp, a salmon or a barbel – in fact it can be any species. They want to know that you know what you are doing when it comes to looking after your catch, and you have until the end of May 2013 to get your entry in via You Tube.
The Competition
Young anglers up to age 16 are invited to enter the IGFA’s first video contest by submitting a short video – no more than three minutes – showing others how to properly release fish. Share your best release tips and your enthusiasm for good fishing practices, and we just might pick your video for theIGFA Junior Angler website, our Facebook page, and maybe even the next issue of the International Angler!
