SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -(Ammoland.com)- The International Game Fish Association (IGFA) Fishing Hall of Fame honored its 2017 inductees at a ceremony held on October 28, 2017, the first event of its kind to be hosted at its all-new home within Johnny Morris’ Wonders of Wildlife National Museum and Aquarium, located next to Bass Pro Shops National Headquarters in Springfield, Missouri.

The IGFA Hall of Fame relocated from its global headquarters in Dania Beach, Florida to Wonders of Wildlife thanks to a generous gift from Johnny Morris to reach a broader audience as part of the new world-class conservation attraction.
