Welcome to the Houston Big Game Fishing Club (HBGFC) website.
The Houston Big Game Fishing Club (HBGFC) was formed in the summer of 2004 and incorporated as a Texas non-profit corporation. The HBGFC is proud that as we end 2008, the Club has 181 members and over 20 Corporate Partners. In 2008, the HBGFC awarded $2,000 scholarships to many deserving students in the Houston area.
HBGFC was formed to promote the pursuit of big game fishing, educate its members and the public, advocate the sport and conservation of big game species and provide social settings for our membership to share their big game fishing passion.
