Complete details for submitting club record entries can be viewed on the club website.So if you want to see your name on the club record board, get your tackle in order, make sure your hand scale is certified, use line that will test out properly and then go for it!New Club RecordsANGLER FISHWEIGHT (lb.oz)TACKLELOCATIONDATEPREV.
