clothes taggers and tags are very cheap on ebay. Could consider colored tags or adding an additional mark to track stocking dates.

I saw the bluegill in the Camaro user post that had a purple spot on the cheek. That looked as if the surface of the cheek had worn away and showed the purple 'healing' underneath?

It made me wonder if it was possible to use a small 'brand' (use a butane grill lighter to heat up aluminum wire or copper wire to make a small mark or scribe a small number for the year on the cheek or tail or belly)? Perhaps an empty hot glue gun would leave a perfect circle brand if you apply the tip and you could make a code (1 circle for 2017, 2 circles for 2018 etc) or perhaps use the tools they give for wood burning or leather burning?
