Rules

General Angling Rules

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) reserves the right to deny any application to the Catch a Florida Memory - Saltwater Angler Recognition Programs and can change these rules at any time without notice. State laws prohibit false claims or fraud when claiming prizes.

To participate in Florida's Saltwater Angler Recognition Programs, all fish must be caught by the angler being recognized in accordance with the Florida saltwater recreational fishing regulations at the time of the catch. This includes, but is not limited to, the angler being properly licensed or using an approved exemption, as well as using legal gear and fishing in saltwater where the angler has legal access.

Contact AnglerRecognition@MyFWC.com or 850-487-0554 for questions regarding these programs.

All submitted fish must have been caught by the angler applying for recognition.
Fish can be either caught and released or legally harvested for these programs.
All harvest of fish must comply with current regulations. Florida Saltwater Recreational Fishing Regulations may be found online or by calling 850-487-0554
An undersized or out-of-season fish can qualify, as long as they are promptly and safely released and not harvested (as evidenced by submitted photos).
Any past catches that meet the requirements are eligible, as long as the required photos and documentation are provided.
FWC reserves the right to deny any application to the Saltwater Angler Recognition Programs and can change these rules at any time without notice.
State laws prohibit false claims or fraud when claiming prizes. Prizes are taxable and will be reported to the IRS as appropriate (please check with your tax advisor if you have any questions).
Recognition will only be given to individual anglers, NOT groups. Do not apply for group recognition.
Fish must be caught in Florida state waters, in federal waters extending directly outward of Florida state line boundaries, or landed in Florida.
FWC employees, including OPS, are not eligible to win prizes other than certificate level awards and website recognition.
Your submissions to this program, including photos and other data provided to the Florida Saltwater Angler Recognition Program, constitute a release for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to use them without compensation or further notice for research, information and other public purposes, such as being posted on the FWC website or being used in FWC publications and promotional materials. When photographs are required, the proper fish handling techniques and photo rules below apply.

Proper Fish Handling Techniques for Photos:

Anglers should handle their catch with wet hands only (do not use a towel), be careful not to poke fingers into eyes or gills and fully support the body weight of the fish by cradling it horizontally.
If not held, fish should be photographed in a rubber-coated, knotless landing net rather than lying on a dock, cooler or boat deck.
Measure length on a wet, cool surface. Do not place fish on hot, dry boat surfaces.
Large fish that will not be harvested should not be removed from the water or boated, as this can injure the fish.
Anglers' faces must be included in photographs and fish must be in an unobstructed position so that FWC staff can verify the species.
For more catch-and-release techniques, see the following: Catch and Release Brochure, Fish Handling and Gear
It is preferred that anglers on vessels are photographed wearing personal floatation devices.

Triple Threat Club Rules

Anglers become a Triple Threat Club member by successfully participating in all three Catch a Florida Memory programs: Saltwater Grand Slams, Saltwater Fish Life List and Saltwater Reel Big Fish. Anglers must have at least one approved recognition for each program. The Triple Threat Club encourages anglers to participate in all three Catch a Florida Memory programs, promoting long term engagement and catch diversity. Triple Threat Club anglers receive a long sleeve performance fishing shirt, plus the chance to win great prize giveaways like fish mounts, fishing gear and vacations. Anglers automatically become members of the Triple Threat Club once they have received recognition in all three Catch a Florida Memory programs (Saltwater Grand Slams, Saltwater Fish Life List and Saltwater Reel Big Fish). There is nothing additional anglers need to do to apply for the Triple Threat Club. Anglers will be notified when they become club members.
