Sponsored by the Iowa DNR, the Iowa Master Angler Award recognizes memorable-sized catches for more than 40 fish species. Those anglers who apply and qualify receive an official certificate and car/boat decal. The rules and qualifying fish species and lengths can be found on the Master Angler Rules web page.
It's easy to submit an entry - submit your entry online. You can also download a Master Angler Award Form with award criteria and details on how to apply.
The Master Angler Program presented 304 awards for 28 different species of fish caught in 84 DNR managed lakes during the 2014 fishing season.
A few notes:
- The fish can be released and still qualify for an award.
- A witness must verify fish size; any fish believed to be a new state record must be verified by a DNR Fisheries official.
- The more fish you catch, the better! Five qualifying fish species over time will earn an angler a silver Master Angler award, and 10 qualifying fish species earns an angler a gold Master Angler Award.
