I know a few guys on here have shown their fish they have tagged but it's a little easier to see whats going on in this outline pictue and exactly how the T tag is suppose to look once tagged. Anyway just thought I would share. The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

I am going to start tagging and keeping records this March so I am glad I found that pic now and not later. The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth.

When you do it RC, let us know how it goes. I think I'll be tagging some fish for a variety of reasons when the time comes as well. Subscribe to Pond Boss Magazine NEFGA

I didin't think you had to put the needle all the way into the fish like that. Sure looks like it hurts to me!! $\:\)$ Glad I am not the one being tagged!

I was putting the tag in more of a 90* angle to the fish instead of coming from the rear going forward like is shown in the video. It makes sense to do that (rearward to forward). Was that fin punched with a hole punch when the fish was smaller?
