Double Digit Topwater
Joel lister does it again on Orange Lake with this 10-5! "So blessed to land another 10 pounder! Back to back trips on a frog again! Topwater mayhem once again!" We can only imagine what a topwater strike from such a beast looks like. Amazing catch, Joel, and glad that TrophyCatch can help you celebrate it.

Picture Perfect
Anthony Demao shows how it's done with this perfect example of a submission photo for his 8 lbs. 12 oz. bass from Fellsmere Reservoir!

Pro Tip: Quickly make sure the weight reading on the screen of an LCD scale is visible in your photo before releasing your trophy (don't keep your bass out of the water too long).

Pro Tip: If you are alone, a video that pans "from scale to tail" may be easier for documenting your catch. Make sure the scale weight is readable and that you pan all the way down to the end of the tail.

Great catch, Anthony. Good luck and tight lines to all our TrophyCatch participants!

☀️ The weekend forecast is looking fishy. 🎣 Our prediction? A strong chance of early alarms, tackle boxes, sunshine, and at least one “you should’ve seen that one that got away” story. 😂
