Problem
Fishing competitions and personal catch records often rely on self-reported data, which can be inaccurate or disputed. Anglers lack a reliable way to prove the authenticity of their catches, and tournament organizers struggle to verify results without time-consuming manual checks.
Solution
derby.fish provides a mobile app that records a complete fishing session with verified data points, including species identification, length measurement, location, and time. Once a catch is logged, the app seals the record and mints a digital FishCard that serves as permanent proof. Verified catches are displayed on a live global map, allowing anglers and organizers to see real-time results. The platform also supports public derbies, enabling structured competitions with transparent, verifiable outcomes.
Target Audience
Primary users are recreational anglers who want verifiable proof of their catches, as well as fishing tournament organizers and partner captains seeking a transparent system for running competitions.
