Florida: October 15 Deadline for TrophyCatch Largemouths

It has been another exciting year as TrophyCatch wraps up Season 8! Note that you still have until October 15 to submit any bass caught between October 1, 2019 and September 30, 2020. As this newsletter goes out, our current season leader is Vance McCullers with an amazing 15 lbs. 2 oz. catch from Polk County waters (left). Other interesting Season 8 statistics to date include:

  • 1,088 Lunker Club bass (8 - 9.9 lbs.) submitted
  • 299 Trophy Club bass (10 - 12.9 lbs.)
  • 22 Hall of Fame bass (13+ lbs.)
  • 30,048 total TrophyCatch program registrants
  • 85,253 TrophyCatch newsletter subscribers

If you fish for bass and are not already involved, you can show your support for bass conservation and be counted by registering for TrophyCatch here — and you are automatically entered into a free random drawing for a Phoenix Boats 819 Pro bass boat powered by Mercury, guided by Lowrance and anchored by Power-Pole! You will want to stay tuned for upcoming news about the Season 8 Phoenix bass boat drawing and Hall of Fame ceremony!
