Points for fishing.
Leagues every week.
Every Verified catch, new species, crown and Slam finish scores Strike Points. They stack into a lifetime total and settle a league every Monday.
Updated
Strike Points are the score in Cobia, the free fishing app. You earn them on the water: 100 for every Verified catch, more for a streak, 50 for a photo you import, a bonus for each new species, and points for crowns, Slams and trophies. They add up to a lifetime total that never resets, and every Monday your week's points move you up or down fifteen leagues, from Tin to Cobalt.

Every point traces back to the water
The Earnings screen is the ledger behind your total. Each line says what you did and what it paid, and you can narrow it to one kind of fishing.
- Points for catching fish, not for opening the app.
- Each photo earns once. Delete a catch and its points come back off, with a line that says so.
- Verified catches score most. 100 for a catch shot live in the Cobia Camera, 50 for a photo imported from your camera roll. How Verified works

Fish two days running and it starts to multiply
A catch on consecutive days builds a streak, and every Verified catch is worth more while it lasts. Day 2 is 1.10x. A full month on the water doubles it.
- Days go by where you fished, using the catch's own local day.
- The ledger shows it on every catch it touched, like Verified catch (1.50x streak).
Fifteen leagues, settled every Monday
Everybody starts in Tin. Strike Points from Monday to Sunday set the order in your league. Finish near the top and you move up a tier, slip to the bottom and you drop one. Cobalt is the top of the ladder.
You're #3, finish top 9 by Sunday and you're promoted to Gold.

Questions about Strike Points
How do I earn Strike Points?
By fishing. A Verified catch is worth 100, more on a streak. Your first Verified catch of a species adds a bonus from 100 to 2,500 by rarity. Taking a crown pays 100 and holding it 25 a day, Slams pay for joining, finishing and the podium, and trophies pay once each.
Do imported photos earn Strike Points?
Yes. A catch imported from your camera roll earns 50, up to ten a day, and those points count toward your weekly and monthly standings. Each photo earns once. A Verified catch earns 100 plus your streak, and only Verified catches pay the new species bonus.
When do the weekly boards reset?
Every Monday at midnight UTC, which is Sunday evening across the US. A blank weekly board right after the reset is the reset, and it fills back in as catches land.
How do leagues work?
There are fifteen, from Tin up to Cobalt, and everyone starts in Tin. Each Monday the top share of a league moves up one tier, as long as they reached that tier's weekly points, and the bottom share drops one. Anglers who scored nothing that week hold where they are.
What does a streak do?
Catch on consecutive days and every Verified catch is multiplied: 1.10x on day 2, 1.20x from day 3, 1.30x from day 5, 1.50x from day 7, 1.75x from day 14 and 2x from day 30.
Can I cash out Strike Points?
No. Strike Points are points. They rank you in leagues and on the leaderboards, and they can't be cashed out.
