Default Line Class Record

How would I go about submitting a texas Line class record? I looked on tpwd.com and found the catch and release form, but no line class form.

TB - I have no idea - does Texas have that sort of record - some states do not. You might want to contact IFGA

Its 35 dollars to submit a form if your a junior and a member of igfa, but 50 if your not a member. I went out yesterday and caught 2 bass, 1 was 2 pounds the other 3, fought really good on such light tackle.

Brandon - just make sure that you read (and follow) all of the rules and regulations they impose. They only recognize certain brands of line and there are lost of other rules regarding the catch.

Interesting, the 20 lb line LM Bass record in TX is only 3 lb 8 oz while the 12 lb line record is 12 lb 10 oz

What record are you shooting for?

Wow, didnt notice that before... I have a feeling that the link is old because there isnt a record older than 2000. I wasnt able to find another updated link.

heres a printable application david

Thanks Brandon - I now need to join (I guess) so I can find out more info and make certain that I comply with line brand and to find a IGFA certified scale - they make you jump through some hoops I bet!
