But those are where those old

records lie, but then, you know, everything that's been fairly modern is, is already in our world record database.

We've got photos that have been, you know, digitized out of the record application.

So, you know, a lot of that has been done already.

That was a great slow pitch, Ben.

Thanks for that one quite a bit.

So the guy that founded the IGFA was a gentleman named Michael Lerner.

He was a man of means in the late 30s.

He had department stores in New York.

But he was very philanthropic to the American Museum of Natural History.

He was big into that.

And even before he founded the IGFA, he would go on these expeditions, you know, around the world, Chile, New Zealand, wherever.

And he would take not only photographers, but send photographers to take movies, but also scientists from the American Museum of Natural History.

Okay.

Because he wanted to make sure that they were cataloging whatever he was seeing, catching, et cetera.

And when IGFA was founded, um,

we were originally housed in the American museum of natural history.

And our original president was a curator of fishes, Dr. William King Gregory.

So right away you had this tie with science and conservation.

Um, and our first model, I believe it was for ethical sport and productive science.
