Thanks, the tagging should not take the place of a fishery survey. However it does provide intersting and useful information. The tag guns we use are floy tag. They have been used in research for over 30 years. We have shocked bass that had legible tags from 4 years prior. Mortality should be zero if bass is handled with care. No reason to not do it unless you have an aversion to having fun.
