Jeff Kopaska, with the Iowa DNR Fisheries Bureau, says Anglers will use the MyCatch app to record the length of the fish as well as take a picture.

The app uses anonymous location data, so secret fish spots will stay that way. Data collected will be used to provide scientific data. The challenge runs from May 1 through June 13.
