Current IGFA YFT Records...

It is a shame they were unable to submit for All Tackle.

Previous largest known YFT on rod and reel...

I wish they grew that big in Hawaii.  The state record is 325lbs.

I bet you could easily count the number of 400lb+ YFT caught on rod and reel on your hands.

Did you guys hear about the 480lb YFT taken by Louis Viyella freediving/spearfishing?

Amazing fish, but caught on a rail rod no doubt fished from the rail = no IGFA.

Right..good point.

I catch all mine from the rod holder now days, so I am not IGFA-compliant either.  In the 1980s&90s we fished everything IGFA and targeted light tackle records, so things can change.

[biggiesmalls]

IGFA or not... that's an amazing catch. Lots of their rules don't make much sense anyways.

That is a monster, any details on the gear used to catch that and how much time it took to winch that in

Hmm, Mak 50s are used on the rail too.
