IT WOULD be grossly unfair to the International Game 

 Fish Association to write a book about the sport of salt- 

 water angling without paying tribute to this exemplary 

 and unique organization. Since its founding in 1940 by 

 Michael Lerner at the earnest solicitation of Clive Firth of 

 Sydney, Australia, one of the world's most famous sports- 

 men, the I.G.F.A. has rendered incalculable service in keep- 

 ing the sport of deep sea fishing on an even keel. Its function 

 is the maintenance of meticulously accurate records and 

 insuring that fish are caught on the fair and square. 



Mike Lerner succeeded Dr. William Gregory as president, 

 and the vice-presidents currently are Ernest Hemingway, 

 Van Campen Heilner, Philip Wylie and Ben Crowninshield.
