About Catchbook
Catchbook is a FREE social fishing journal that automatically turns fish photos into catch records complete with detailed weather conditions, then lets you share that information on a map with fishing buddies you trust. The map is private, but the photos of your fish are public, which means everyone can see what all Catchbook users are landing around the country (and around the world!).

Since we launched the app in April, more than 7000 people have installed it on their phones and have more than 12,000 photos of the fish they've caught. Check it out in the iTunes store today!
