Anybody else turn fish in to this, I started last year with a smallmouth and just recently turned a drum in, I like it, I want to see how many qualifying fish I can catch now.

I would love to but I want to start with a bream and ain't done that yet. 
Probably got a few TARP catfish when fishing with rsimms but have never turned one in.
Probably do that this year.

I would like to catch one of each species but considering I live like 5 hours away from the nearest trout stream I think it will be hard to do but the muskie would be the toughest I think.

i have never turned one in. the boy turned in a TARP brookie out of the clinch. i caught one that qualified but didn't turn it in.

Yep. Rsimms got my boy into a 45# blue cat that qualified.
At the time I wasn't sure who'd win that battle.
Anyhow, the TARP certificate and picture are both framed and on his wall.

I've caught a smallmouth and a largemouth that qualified for it since moving here. Just haven't sent the stuff in. Wish I had now.
I have caught a bunch of tarp fish, at least 20 smallmouth over 20"
Largemouth
Drum
Shellcracker
Bluegill
Black crappie
Blue cat
Rock bass(redeye)
And probably a few more that I don't recall. I have never applied for the 1st Tarp award.

Yea, they actually rather you not keep them, all that is required is a pic of them being measured and/or a witnesses signature.

Stretch (Larry) and I were fishing with rsimms and decided to go for some bream.
Seriously, I bet you we caught 30+ bream that were 9 3/4" long.
No kidding.
Never topped the 10" mark.

I've caught one shellcracker that would have made the 11" mark but I was really young, I do have it mounted though.
