Overall, a lot of records (fly and non-fly) have been set by methods other than what we typically think of as cast, hook, fight, land. For example, I have spoken with people who witnessed attempts at setting offshore records with ultra light tackle. Do you really think someone can land a 100# marlin or tuna on 4# or 6# line with a conventional fight?

They all meet IGFA regulations, just not the way you typical think of when you hear of a record catch.
