Read full description

Over the past decade the Power-Pole Shallow Water Anchor has changed the world of sport fishing by offering the most technologically advanced boat control system ever invented. The C-Monster application is designed exclusively for controlling the operations of Power-Pole devices using Bluetooth LE connection. You must own Power-Pole devices to use this application. Currently, the iOS app is only compatible with Power-Pole hydraulic models built late January 2015 or after. This can be confirmed if the serial number ends in “AC” for the 8’ Blade or “AA” for any other hydraulic model. An add-on iOS module will soon be available to allow existing C-Monster equipped Power-Pole models not matching the criteria listed to utilize this app.

About

FishScore

What if every fish had a score? FishScore turns your iPhone into a new way to measure, score, track, and compare your catches. Scan your fish with your phone to estimate its length, use AI-assisted species identification, and discover its FishScore — a simple number designed to help show how your catch stacks up. MEASURE WITH YOUR IPHONE No measuring board. No tape measure. FishScore uses your iPhone's camera and AR technology to estimate the length of your catch right from your phone. DISCOVER YOUR FISHSCORE Length tells you how long a fish is. FishScore gives you another way to understand the catch. See your score, discover your catch quality, and compare catches beyond length alone. AI-ASSISTED SPECIES IDENTIFICATION FishScore can suggest the species from your catch photo, helping make logging your fish faster. Review the suggestion and stay in control of your catch information. TRACK EVERY CATCH Build your personal catch history automatically. Keep your FishScores, lengths, species, personal bests, and catch stats together in one place. CLIMB THE LEADERBOARDS See how you stack up against other anglers on weekly and monthly leaderboards. Filter by species, chase personal bests, and keep climbing. FISHING IS ABOUT MORE THAN A NUMBER Every catch has a story. FishScore gives you a new way to capture it, compare it, and remember it. Scan it. Score it. FishScore it.
