Dr. Dave:

That is exactly the setup I have. Thanks for the info.

Eric:

Year classes I think I would just fin or tail clip. But I have 9 months of growth data and pictures on the top 4 PBR Redears, and can see tracking these guys individually in the future. The biggest one has never even finned me or jumped out of my hands while holding him.

Dan:

These guys will get tagged (if I don't get too scared ) in the basement. Definitely with a helper.

Bruce:

Maybe a 6" BG for practice - I have 6" BG to burn like you have 9" ones. The tagging gun goes with me to the pond tonight.
