Own your water.
Wear the crown.
The angler with the most Verified catches at a water holds its crown, with the title they picked. Hold it as long as you can. Somebody is always counting.
Updated
Crowns in Cobia, the free fishing app, go to the angler with the most Verified catches at a water: a lake, a river, a creek or an inlet. Hold one and the water shows your angler title, like Dock Boss of Jupiter Inlet, until somebody out-fishes you there. It takes five Verified catches to claim a crown, and it pays Strike Points every day you keep it.

Most catches takes it
Every water in Cobia has one crown and a running count of who has caught the most there. Pass the holder, or tie them with a newer catch, and the crown moves to you on the spot.
- Five to claim it. An empty water waits for somebody with five Verified catches there.
- No timer. The count runs all time, so a crown only moves when somebody fishes that water harder than you.
- Verified only. Photos from the camera roll fill your log, never a crown. How Verified works
3 more Verified catches tie it, and ties go to the newest catch.

You'll know the moment they come for it
When a challenger gets within one catch, Cobia tells you. If the crown moves, both of you hear about it. On the map, every crowned water turns gold, and the ones you hold glow.

Questions about crowns
How do I win a crown in Cobia?
Log more Verified catches at a water than anybody else. You need at least five there to claim it. If you tie the holder, the newest catch wins, so a tie on your fresh catch takes it.
Do imported photos count toward a crown?
No. Only Verified catches, shot live in the Cobia Camera, count for crowns. Imported photos still fill your log and your Fishdex.
Does a crown expire?
No. There is no timer and no season. The count runs all time, and the crown only moves when somebody passes you at that water.
What does holding a crown earn?
100 Strike Points when you take it, and 25 more at every daily reset you still hold it. Crown trophies pay on top, like Crown Defender for seven days in a row and Iron Crown for thirty.
Does holding a crown give away my spot?
No. Crowns belong to named waters, like a lake or an inlet, not to the spot you stood on. Each catch still follows the location setting you picked for it: exact, area, or water body.
