So we always had that tie in.
So, you know,
Our rules led into records, like I said, and you can kind of look at that as a proxy for health.
I don't think it's as good as probably what you can do with Boone and Crockett because I think terrestrial systems are a lot easier to gauge abundance of animals, health of animals, size of animals.
Records are a little bit different because people say, hey, can't we just use your records to see how fish have changed over time?
I'm like, yes and no, because...
records depend on a couple of things.
Obviously you need to have a fish of a particular size out there to be beaten if one already exists, but you also have to have interest.
So it's not this kind of ideal free distribution of people that are pursuing these things all the time.
You know, it's a really rarefied universe.
And so say the all tackle record for a fish is, I don't know, just for sake of example, 400 pounds, you know, there may be
dozens hundreds of fish that are 380 pounds that are caught this year but are not entered because they know they won't break the record yeah so you know when i when i talk to people i wouldn't get i'd have to know yeah i wouldn't tell anyone like if there's some fish i like a lot i wouldn't tell anyone if i caught one that was close but not over yeah but i mean as far as the conservation goes you know that really kind of ramped up over the years and we really really got strong um
Certainly in the 2000s, but before then as well, we really started weighing in on fisheries issues around the world.
We used to have a monthly publication called the International.
It was called the Marine International Angler.
Actually, this is before we took over freshwater stuff.
And on the cover, I had this old edition of it, and it says IGFA is asking ICAP, which is the international body that manages Bluefin Tuna, to take measures to protect the stock.
And that's just when the stock started to go down.
I think they started to really fall off the cliff in the 50s and 60s, but long-term, big time.
That was a pet fish of our organization, so a lot of the presidents at the time
