There’s a new smartphone app that will allow anglers to customize their text messages with fishing-related emojis.
FishMoji is an iPhone app that let's you add a custom keyboard filled with 90 bass fishing emojis directly to your phone. Among the emojis are popular lures and baits, personalities, bass species and company logos.
“At first, FishMoji was honestly just a joke spawned by some of the pop culture emoji apps I saw around the Internet,” said app developer Steven Reed. “I made a few just to get a laugh in a group text among my fishing buddies, but when one of my friends said, 'It's a shame bass fishing would never do anything like this,’ I decided I had heard that expression too many times before and I was going to develop the app myself.
“I've always believed that bass fishermen will respond if the industry takes chances and does something cool. I guess I was just tired of our sport getting overlooked. Really, developing this app was just my way of expressing that and providing our community with a fun way to interact.”
The app is currently available for iOS devices, but an Android version is already in the works. FishMoji is available on the iTunes App Store for $1.99.
