I don't think you get any cash from the IGFA for a world record fish. All you get is your moment of fame for being the record holder until the next big one is caught.
If you were to catch a world record Large mouth or maybe striper , you could possibly cash in on the fame but it wouldn't be money from the IGFA. In all honesty , I don't think you could make a penny off being the world record holder for a sea bass.
However , it would be fun to catch a big one!
