You are correct. On some fish it is neccessary to remove scale. If you ever wanted to tag a carp (why?) better pop the scale. yes on CC pretty tough task to remove scale esshup. ON the bass I will quickly flick a sclae out of the way with the needle but it seems to not be an issue. On a few occasions out of hundreds of fish we have tagged we will have an issue.
BTW thanks for the order.
