Don't take our word for it.

“Nailed a juvenile gag grouper my buddy swore was a black. Told us it was closed, so it went back. That's the app paying for itself.”

Marcus T.App Store · Florida

“I fish state and federal waters on the same trip. This is the only thing I've found that knows which side of the line I'm on.”

Dana R.Google Play · Texas

“Measure is the feature. One photo on the deck, slot or not, done. My kids use it more than I do.”

OUR STORY

It started with a fish we couldn't identify.

We were offshore when we caught a fish none of us could confidently name. Like a lot of anglers, we started searching — what it was, whether it was legal to keep, and what the rules were for the waters we were in.

There should be a simpler answer: take a picture, and know what you're holding, how to measure it, and whether you can legally keep it. What started with one fish offshore has grown into FishVerify — built to give anglers a faster, simpler and more confident answer when it matters most.

BUILT FOR THE FISH TOO

Every legal check is a short fish released and a closed season respected. We work with state agencies and conservation partners, and the photos anglers share help us identify species faster and more accurately. How we use photos · Sustainability and partners

QUESTIONS

Before you download.

Where does FishVerify work?

In state and federal waters across the U.S. Regulations are loaded for the exact waters your location puts you in — including the state-to-federal line offshore — and you can set a location manually before a trip.

Where do the regulations come from?

From the state fish and wildlife agencies and NOAA Fisheries. We update them as they change and show the source and date on every rule. FishVerify is a reference, not a legal authority — when in doubt, confirm with your local agency.

Does it work without cell service?

Yes. Regulations, your license wallet and your catch log are stored on the phone. Fish ID and Measure work offshore; weather and reports refresh when you're back in range.

How accurate is Measure?

Measure uses a reference in the photo — a measuring board or your hand span on file — and shows you how it read the fish before you rely on it. It's built to keep you honest on the slot, not to replace a board on a close call.

What happens to the photos I scan?

They're yours. Photos stay in your catch log, and you choose whether to share them to Community. With your permission, scanned photos help train identification — you can opt out any time in Settings. See our photo and training policy.

Can I use FishVerify on my computer?

Your catch log and license wallet sync to your account, so you can sign in on the web to review and export them. Scanning and Measure are camera features and stay on the phone.

Next time you're holding one, you'll know.

Free on iPhone and Android. Works in state and federal waters across the U.S.
