Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work without internet?

Yes.  Fisherman can photograph and record fish through the FishDonkey app without a WIFI or data connection.  Once back in a service area, the fish will be submitted.

Does the app reveal my location to other anglers?

No.  But the location IS encrypted in the pictures.  FishDonkey has the ability to decrypt the location if a Tournament Director makes the request.  This would be equivalent to a lie detector test in regards to location legitimacy.

Why are you using Length and not Weight to determine a winner?

Using length allows tournament directors to verify the measurement from a picture.  It is not possible to verify the accuracy of a scale from a picture. FishDonkey has cheating and fraud prevention tools built into the app that prevents using old or altered photos.

Will I be subject to a polygraph test?

Winners can be required to submit to a polygraph test before claiming their prize.  Denying a polygraph will automatically disqualify the participant.
