Thanks for the feedback. A couple quick points, first Texas ShareLunker was highly successfu,l and we hope to have comparable numbers soon, so please help us spread the word. We won't be picking the fish up to take back to the hatchery, so hopefully we can get these beauties back in their home waters quickly to be caught again. If we can encourage folks to release fish and use fiberglass mounts, we hopefully will expand that base of 15 lb plus bass you spoke of, and give biologists a better idea of what programs help generate sustainable trophy fisheries.
On the registration page, you use your customer number and the phone number you used to register at the time (that tends to be the mismatch). You can find both by looking them up, or you can simply type your information into the alternate registration approach on the right side of the screen. Either works, one is just intended to reduce how much typing you need to do.
BTW, when you register for TrophyCatch you also register for Big Catch. Big Catch is pretty-much a certificate only program, as such we don't have to be quite as thorough documenting weights and lengths. So if you have older records and photos of bass you've caught that exceeded either 8 lbs or 24 inches, you can enter them in that program and still have your photo on the site. TrophyCatch has to be after Oct. 1, 2012 and have photos of the weight and length.
Like us on Facebook and you'll see all the new Trophies as they are approved and released.
