Trophy-sized freshwater fish
that are caught in Virginia waters can be recognized through DWR's angler
recognition program. Use this form to submit your application to be
recognized for trophy size weight and/or length certifications. If you select
both weight and length certifications, your catch must meet both qualifications
to be certified.
Tiger trout was inadvertently added to the Trophy Fish Lengths and Weights table in the print version of the 2025 Virginia Freshwater Fishing & Boating digest. Tiger trout is currently not a species that is offered in the Virginia Angler Recognition Program.
