Fish species guides
Every species Fish Masters Live recognizes, with a full guide: how to tell it apart from the fish it gets confused with, where it lives, what it does in each season, the techniques that actually work, and — the part most guides skip — how to measure it accurately and put it back alive.

Fish Masters Live is a tournament app, and a tournament is only as good as the anglers in it. Most species pages online are thin, recycled and written to fill a page rather than to help you catch something. These are not that.
Each guide covers the things that actually change your day on the water: the field marks that separate a species from its lookalikes, the specific structure it relates to, what it does month by month, and which presentations earn their place in a tackle box. Every guide also includes a measurement section, because getting an honest length is the whole basis of a photo-verified leaderboard — and a handling section, because a fish that dies after release is not a released fish.
Regulations are the one thing we deliberately do not restate. Seasons, slot limits and bag limits change constantly and vary by individual water body. Always check with your state or provincial fish and wildlife agency before you fish.
Stop arguing about who caught the biggest one.
Every catch is measured from the photo and checked against the species you claimed. No weigh-ins, no honor system, no driving to a boat ramp at 4 a.m. Just fish, log, and watch the leaderboard move.
Free download. Optional subscription unlocks your full fishing log, weather data and custom tournaments — available only in the App Store.
