Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations 36 lbs catfish

When tagging, try and visualize the tag end that goes into the fish. Put in the fish in such a way that it goes thru the part of the dorsal fin that goes down towards the spine. You want the end to go past the bones that make the dorsal fin work, and turn sideways. I always pull on a tag once it's inserted, to make sure it's caught and in the right spot. So far, I've been lucky and haven't had any slip when I've pulled on them.

Who knows, maybe they fell out of the CC? I know the LMB that I've tagged are still swimming with the tags.
