Club Records

These Club Records recognise outstanding catches by our members across a range of species and line classes.

Mooloolaba Game Fishing Club records celebrate the skill, dedication, and sportsmanship of anglers who have achieved exceptional results on the waters off the Sunshine Coast and beyond.

Each record represents a memorable capture and a proud moment in the club’s history. Members are encouraged to submit qualifying catches in accordance with club and IGFA rules so they can be officially verified and added to the record books.
