GotOne! is a real simple fishing log app that helps you become a better fisherman through data-driven insights, while contributing to the research and science that protects our fisheries and the fish we love to catch. GotOne! allows fishermen to log their catches through a few quick taps. For each catch, fishermen record the species and the length of the fish.

Aggregate data generalizes location information to fifteen-mile regions - useful for scientific research applications, but too general to “burn spots.”
