World Freshwater Angling Championships

The World Freshwater Angling Championships is a freshwater angling competition. Participating countries fish in teams of six with titles awarded to the team with the highest aggregate weight and for the highest individual weight. Since its inception in 1954, the competition has been staged on rivers, canals and still waters. Currently (2013), the championships have not been held outside of Europe. In 1992, Dave Wesson, an Australian, became the only non-European to win the title.[1]
