Record type

Fish details

Pick from the list, or just type it in if your species isn't there.

Length is mandatory — records will be denied without a length measurement.

Photos & video

Show the species, weight, and length on a zeroed/certified scale in one continuous clip. Max 300 MB.

Clean fish with the bowfisher, a complete side profile, and the whole fish on a certified scale. Photos are automatically resized on upload — just add your originals (iPhone HEIC/Live Photos may need to be converted or screenshotted).

Required for Buffalo, Suckers & Quillback species — close-ups showing the full mouth closed.

Before you submit

  • The fish must be weighed on a certified scale (or a Klau Industrial scale with calibration weight shown).
  • Photos must clearly show the species, a full side profile, and the fish on the scale.
  • Length is required — no length, no record.
  • Buffalo, Suckers & Quillback require the extra mouth-closed close-up photos.
