IGFA to Induct Five New Members into HOF

The International Game Fish Association will welcome five new members into its Hall of Fame on Oct. 27.

This year’s inductees – who will bring the list of HOFers to 75 – include Carlos Barrantes, Jack Erskine, Guy Harvey, Harlan Major and Stephen Sloan.

They will be honored at the 11th Annual IGFA Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Dania Beach, Fla., for the contributions they have made to sportfishing through angling achievements, literature, the arts, science, education, invention, communication or administration of fishery resources.
