TrophyCatch Season 11 is the Season of Research, as we celebrate what YOUR bass submissions are teaching us about our favorite fish. Here are some interesting facts that have been gleaned from your data since the program was launched in 2012:
- 9%, or almost one out of every 10 approved TrophyCatches, were caught in tournaments.
- Osceola County has more TrophyCatch approvals than any other Florida county.
- Over 400 public waterbodies have TrophyCatch approved bass.
- The largest TrophyCatch caught from a kayak was 15 lbs., a truly amazing feat.
- 41% of Hall of Fame bass weighing 13 lbs. or more were caught on a plastic worm. You just can’t go wrong fishing one!
Currently at the end of March, TrophyCatch submission numbers stand at:
- 11,024 Lunker Club (8-9.9 lbs.)
- 2,766 Trophy Club (10-12.9 lbs.)
- 133 Hall of Fame (13+ lbs.)+
- 13,923 TOTAL approved submissions to date
That’s an incredible number of trophies caught, documented, and released for fellow anglers to recapture!
Also, the brand-new Season 11 Phoenix TrophyCatch bass boat has arrived! It is making its way to various events throughout the state to provide a sneak peek at the ride a lucky TrophyCatch participant will be taking home at the end of this year. Phoenix Boats, Mercury Marine, Lowrance, Power-Pole, Wrap This! and other partners make this amazing annual prize possible.
