N.H. Trophy Fish, 2005
New Hampshire's Trophy Fish program provides
recognition for both kept and released fish in twenty-two freshwater
species and seven saltwater species categories. The program provides
opportunity for enthusiasts of all ages to receive recognition while
giving biologists important information on the fisheries over time.
All successful applicants receive a "Trophy
Fish" shoulder patch for submitting their catch information.
Then, each February, the person who caught the largest fish in each
species category is presented with a framed certificate. All ages
and all legal methods of angling are represented.
