Turn real fishing into a
real-life adventure game.

Yes. The app is completely free. No payment, no subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads. We're in open beta and would love your feedback.

Eventually, yes. Two features are planned for a future paid version: AI photo fish ID (snap a fish, get the species) and Captain Splash, an AI fishing coach who answers any fishing question. Both will be fully built-in with no setup required. The current beta focuses on doing the catch journal beautifully without leaning on AI.

No. Catches and progress save directly to the device. No login, no email, no data sent to anyone unless they tap Share on a catch card.

On the device, in the browser's local storage. Don't clear browser data or it will be lost. We recommend installing to home screen so it acts like a real app.

No. Highlight Reel clips are stored locally on the device, just like photos and catches. Nothing is uploaded to a server or shared automatically. The only way a video leaves the device is if your child taps Share and chooses where to send it. Clips are limited to 90 seconds to keep storage reasonable, kids can either record in-app or upload from their camera roll.

There are exactly five lifetime certificates a kid can earn:

🎣 First Catch · 💪 First Lunker (5+ lb) · 🏆 First Trophy (10+ lb) · 💎 First Rare Catch · 🌟 First Legendary Catch

Each fires once ever. When earned, a beautiful certificate auto-generates with the kid's name, signed by Captain Splash. They can save it as an image or print it at home. The collection lives under the Badges page and can be reprinted anytime.

Yes. Every species page shows the state-specific minimum keeper size and daily limit. When a kid logs a catch that's below the keeper size, the app shows a friendly "still growing" message encouraging release. The app links directly to TWRA, NCWRC, FWC, and TPWD official regulations. We don't lecture, we frame catch & release as a way to grow trophy fish for next year.

Four states with full content: Tennessee, North Carolina, Florida, and Texas (each with state-specific regulations, regional badges, and monthly challenges). Plus two generic fallbacks: Rest of USA — Inland (43 freshwater species, year-round generic challenges) and Rest of USA — Coastal (47 saltwater species, year-round generic challenges) so anyone outside our full-content states still gets a meaningful Journal and challenges. California, Minnesota, New York, and other top fishing states are next on the roadmap.

Yes. Once installed, the whole app works offline. Log catches at the lake with no signal, browse the Journal, take the Fish Facts quiz, read recipes. The only thing that needs internet is the optional weather auto-fill when you log a catch in real time.
