The International Game Fish Association “IGFA” is a Committee with 300 representatives in 90 countries who is in charge of managing  fishery issues all over the world.  USA, England and Australia started to concern about fishery back in 1930´s.  They wanted to establish certain codes of sporting ethics because anglers did not have rules to follow.

The IGFA International Committee was formally created on June 7th. 1939.  The ceremony took place at the American Museum of Natural History.

One of their main goals is to preserve game fishing conservation and influence local authorities for the promotion of this sport practice.
