What is Trophy Catch?

Welcome to the New TrophyCatch website!

Note: TrophyCatch is now part of Go Outdoors Florida. For instructions on logging in or registering, please see the TrophyCatch FAQ.

TrophyCatch is proud to present to you this new website! It will offer flexible communication, a more robust engagement with increased security for all anglers. This site is the center of this unique conservation and promotional program that will help showcase Florida's amazing bass fishing! 

TrophyCatch brings together private and public efforts and turns anglers into citizen-scientists. There are three major aspects that contribute to the success of this program. First there are the anglers who submit their catch data, FWC biologists who validate the bass and compile this catch data for water management, and TrophyCatch conservation partners and industry giants like Bass Pro Shops who reward anglers for each approved bass!

Be sure to like and follow TrophyCatch Facebook to see featured submissions and to keep up to date on TrophyCatch news, events, and new prizing!

What is Trophy Catch?

What is TrophyCatch?

TrophyCatch is a free bass fishing program in Florida, the Fishing Capital of the World! We ask anglers who pursue Florida and largemouth bass to be prepared to photo or video document any bass weighing 8 lbs. or heavier. Each catch provides invaluable data that guides management decisions. 

Let TrophyCatch validate and brag about your amazing catch all the while winning great prizes from our conservation partners like Bass Pro Shops. Want to participate? 

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Be legal, be properly licensed and fish in fresh or brackish water within the State of Florida. Check your gear and ensure that you have a working scale and camera.
  • Map it out; explore where TrophyCatch fish are being caught in your area to plan your fishing trip.
  • Catch and document your TrophyCatch.
For more details please read the Rules.

The TrophyCatch conservation partners are a crucial part of TrophyCatch, and we are extremely grateful for all of the participating anglers who make the program the most successful angler-driven conservation program in the United States.
