ISFC Rules for Specimen Fish Claimants

7. Awards

Anglers whose claims have been accepted by the Committee will be awarded special “Merit Badges” in the case of Specimen Fish and Silver Medals in the case of Record Fish. Specimen Fish Certificates will also be issued in respect of all ratified claims. Only one merit badge will be awarded to any angler per annum even where multiple claims are received.

Special badges are awarded to anglers who have caught specimens of ten or more species and a special badge is issued each year for fish of exceptional merit though not of record size.
