I've been watching Florida fishing game on YouTube and how they grab people with undersized fish in their boat or out of season species. Fines can get real expensive, so does anyone know a free fish identification app? I downloaded an app called Fish verify but they want 5.99 a month or the free version is very limited.
Thanks

Never seen an app for such a thing.

I'd contact Florida fish and Game to see what they have.
Problem your going to run into is that quite a few species of fish look almost identical with only small nuances to tell the difference between them. Real need to be be up on your fIchthyology if your not targeting specific species.

I'm surprised no one has heard of these types of apps. Here is the one I first downloaded but it's $5.99 a month. You scan the fish and it also gives you the species min and max length regulation or in or out of season! The wardens use different apps. This was one of them. But I'm looking for a free one.IMG_0431.jpeg

I'm in NY. I've been watching the Youtube channels that show the FL wardens busting fisherman for undersized fish, out of season fish etc. If you don't know what the fish is one catches how can you know the rules and regs of that fish? And they were recommending getting these types of apps. I just don't want to pay $6 a month for one especially with our short boating/fishing seasons up in the Northeast part of the U.S.
