The 2020 Fish Ohio pin features a smallmouth bass, as did the 2015 pin. The bass is enameled in two shades of green-brown with dark brown stripes. The top fin and tail are the same dark brown. The belly is enameled in white. The words Fish Ohio and the date are in silver below the fish.Context
The Fish Ohio program recognizes anglers for noteworthy catches of Ohio’s fish. Since 1976, more than 400,000 anglers have been recognized for their catches. The Ohio Division of Wildlife took over the program's management in 1980.
Each angler with a qualifying catch receives a collectible Fish Ohio lapel pin. Each year’s pin has a different species of fish on it, along with the year, so the pin that the angler receives won’t necessarily have the same fish on it as the qualifying fish caught. Fish must be taken by legal angling and not from pay lakes.
