""Irish Specimen Fish Committee

Welcome to the website of the Irish Specimen Fish Committee. The ISFC's main aim is to verify and publicise the capture of specimen (i.e. trophy) fish caught on rod and line by anglers in Ireland, both in freshwater and at sea. The Committee also ratifies Irish record rod caught fish.
