Verified Catch
A Verified Catch is a fish that was logged inside a verified session and cleared a submission standard — recorded as an immutable FishCard.
A Verified Catch is the atomic unit of Verified Fishing: one fish, caught inside a VFS, proven against a submission standard, sealed as a FishCard.
Once verified, the catch is an immutable record. The species, the measure, the standard, and the seal travel together and don't get quietly edited later. That permanence is what makes it a credential and, over time, a collectible.
An unverified log is just a note to yourself. A Verified Catch is something you can put in front of anyone.
Common questions
What's on a verified catch record?
At minimum the species, the measured length, the standard used, and the verified seal — presented as a FishCard.
Can a verified catch be changed later?
The record is immutable by design — that permanence is exactly what makes it trustworthy.
What is a FishCard?
The card form of a verified catch: the same shared component everywhere on Kala, so what you see is what was proven.
