20-to-1-Club
The 20-To-1 Club is a legacy program that recognized members for their accomplishment in catching species with light line. The weight of the fish exceeded the lines class by 20 times. With the focus on conservation and, thus, the elimination of a weight fish class effective January 1 of 2018, this program is no longer offered. However, the IWFA continues to recognize these women for their amazing achievements.
