It was a wahoo that first placed the Philippines in the
International Fishing map because of a world record caught by the
late
J. L. Meyers near Manila in 1936 when a group of water sportsmen, most
of whom were members of the Manila Yacht club,
decided on the Formation
of the Philippine Game Fishing Foundation.
The known members, aside from
J. L. Meyers as founder, were Lou Wagner, A. J. Balls, Florentino
Zamora and
Arthur Henderson. Most of the founding members were generally
Westerners.
Florentino
Zamora was the only Filipino on the record that composed the founding
members.
Today, his son Gene Zamora and grandson Roland are active members of the club.
