During the course of each calendar year, this “just for fun” competition tracks the heaviest fish (can be boated or weighed & released) entered by members for each species the club maintains weight records for. The catches are posted on the All Time Record Board in the WPBFC clubhouse and online. Fish must be weighed on a club certified scale and entries must be received on an official club affidavit. Winners receive a beautiful 'Big Fish' certificate suitable for framing. Be sure to enter your catch and keep track of this year's leaders on the All Time Club Record's page of the club website!
