They'll send you a certificate and a badge thing. And you can see where your catch ranks all time in the province. It's kinda neat. They actually sell measuring tapes for your bump board that have the various species Master Angler length on it, to make it easier. Some guys don't like submitting to it because they don't want people to know where the big ones are, but it's a fun thing especially for kids...

That’s a super cool idea.
It should also be mandatory to provide a photo of that fish’s release though.
