Welcome to Big Catch
Big Catch is a freshwater fishing angler recognition program that encourages both new and experienced, adult and youth anglers to diversify their catch by trying new locations and techniques to catch a wide variety of species. With over 30 species to catch, there are lots of ways to participate. Sign-in and submit your catch today!
[NOTE: Largemouth bass over 8 pounds that are carefully documented and released should be submitted to TrophyCatch. Be sure to have a camera, scale, and tape measure with you and follow the submission rules carefully.]
How to Submit
Submitting is easy! Just take a photo of your catch so the species is clearly identifiable.You do not need to be in the photo with the fish but we encourage it so we can help share your achievements.
All Big Catch submissions must meet or exceed either the weight OR length. A photo of your catch on a measuring board or on a scale is recommended but NOT requred to receive recognition. A weight OR length minimum is not required for Slam submissions.
