According to the site, the "official" minimum length for a Trophy largemouth in KY is 23 inches. Have any of you registered trophy fish with them? Are any of you certified as Master Anglers?
Yes, I began applying back in 91 or 92, and recieved my first master angler award in 92. Since then I've recieved 3 others and 7 annual awards for the biggest fish of that spieces that year. It was fun trying to target a certain spieces and then catch a trophy.I think I ended up with around 30 trophy certificates and stickers. I believe the last one I recieved was in 98..Then babies came and I went from fishing 7 days a week to 1 and kinda got out of it. Funny I catch bigger fish now and don't buy a stamp, but my wife only allows a small area for fishing trophy's...lol ..Chuck
