A commercially caught, rod and reel fish would count ONLY if rec and commercial regs are the same. This means that if recs have a slot and coms have a higher harvest length, the com-caught fish may not be entered for consideration which means that in the case of striped bass, it is not possible under the current regulations for the IGFA all tackle weight record to be broken.
The only IGFA world record currently able to be broken is for the length which currently sits at 124 cm or 48.82 inches. |

How is the length record possible to break? |

Length records equate to catch and release. Don't quote me exactly as it has been at least a year since I looked into it but you need to be an IGFA member and then submit a photo of the fish next to their official ruler. |

Unlike the situation with weight, the rules do allow for measuring a fish on a boat. The movement of the boat doesn't affect a ruler, like it does with a scale. |
