We support how tournaments run today: VHF radio, SAT phone, text messages. But with satellite internet and our app, you can modernize the catch logging process and eliminate the physical bottlenecks that slow everyone down.
Cellular coverage varies wildly depending on where you fish. You might have full bars on a suburban lake, or nothing deep in the Everglades, rural Texas, or the Outer Banks. We handle all of it.
Participants text their catches to your admin team. With our SMS add-on, your tournament gets a dedicated phone number where anglers can text in catches with photos and details.
Full in-app scoring when cellular is available. Log hookups, releases, and catches with photos and video.
No signal in the marsh? Scores save locally with a secure timestamp and sync automatically when coverage returns.
Nearshore boats may have cell service, but most offshore fishing happens beyond coverage. VHF and SAT phone are still the standard, but satellite internet has changed the game. Real-time app scoring from hundreds of miles out, video import and cloud upload while still offshore.
Releases and hookups called in over the radio. Your team enters scores in real-time as they come in.
The traditional offshore standard. Call in catches from anywhere in the world.
More and more boats have satellite internet. Participants submit scores, import video, and upload to the cloud, all while still offshore.
All video and photo import happens through the Reel Time Camera app. Participants capture or import footage there, and their tournament app reads from it to attach media to a score submission.
Currently available for iPhone. Android coming later 2026.
Plug any SD card reader into a phone and import videos from any camera directly into the Reel Time Camera app. No computer needed, no cards to hand off.
Connect wirelessly to supported cameras and pull videos straight into the Reel Time Camera app. No cables, no swapping cards.
Some tournaments also allow selecting from the device photo library, though this bypasses the watermarks and verification controls the Camera app provides.
No more volunteer laptops filling up with video files. No more passing around hard drives. Participants handle their own uploads, and you review everything from anywhere.
All videos upload to Amazon Web Services with industry-leading reliability and security. No more filling up volunteer laptops or passing around hard drives.
Videos save locally in the app first. Participants can import footage immediately and upload whenever they have connectivity.
No more lines at the dock waiting to hand off SD cards. No more volunteers drowning in file transfers. Participants handle their own uploads.
Trust matters in competitive fishing. Every submission carries metadata, GPS coordinates, and device information so tournament directors can verify authenticity and catch fraud before it reaches the leaderboard.
By requiring the Reel Time Camera app, participants can only submit footage captured or imported through the app. There is no way to upload AI-generated videos.
GPS coordinates are embedded at capture time. Verify that every catch happened within tournament boundaries.
When using the Reel Time Camera app, participants never touch the raw files. Videos go straight from capture to submission. They can trim start and end times to save on bandwidth, but the original footage is preserved.
Tournament directors see timestamps, GPS data, device info, and file metadata for every submission. Nothing is hidden.
As scores come in, leaderboards auto-calculate and update everywhere. Prize money calculations happen automatically. No spreadsheets required.
Rankings update instantly as scores are entered and verified. No spreadsheets, no manual math.
Show leaderboards in the app, your admin dashboard, or embed on any website with our web widgets.
