Big Bass. Big Rewards. Big Impact.
TrophyCatch is FWC's trophy bass conservation program, established in 2012, that combines angler recognition with citizen science.
Participation is free - Simply catch a Florida or largemouth bass weighing 8 pounds or more, submit a photo or video of the whole fish and the scale, and earn prizes. Your catch data supports fisheries management and helps identify research and conservation priorities.
By bringing together anglers, biologists, and conservation partners, TrophyCatch collects valuable catch data, celebrates outstanding achievements, and strengthens the long-term stewardship of Florida's renowned bass fisheries.
