A: Yes, provided that the information you supply can be verified by SACGB records. Please email secretary with known details

Q: What determines a shark as a qualifier?
A: We no longer weigh sharks to confirm full membership. if it is a blue Shark, provided the length from the tip of the nose to the fork of the tail is a minimum of 70” it is a qualifier. The equivalent length for Porbeagle is 55″, for Thresher is 48″ and for Mako it is 58″.

Q: What is the British Measured & Released Record?
A: This listing replaces the British Record listing where fish must be weighed and very probably killed to do so.
