I saw Tommy Farmer from North Carolina cast 800 feet in '09 (I think his record was around 830'). If you want to see just how many folks can cast over 700 feet do a search for Sportcast USA. It used to be big competition here in the US. Most of those guys were using standard casting rods (Lamis, Loomis, and such...not the fancy English casting rods). They threw 5 ounce weights on 15 pound mono line.
The Japanese team had the wierdest cast. I watched one caster take out a jeep window at the world championships in 1999. The guy cast with a sideways round cast and like a gunshot everybody ducked when the line parted.
