Yes, but, yes, you are right. I caught one marked last fall and there was a thin layer where it had healed. So, i'm doing this until i figure something else out. I would LOVE to tag so that i could keep a list of size, date last caught etc. But, i haven't found small enough tags that i believe would not hinder the fish. So, I too am looking for ideas on that issue.
Thanks to all for the words. I am happy so far with growth rates.
Great looking fish!!
I've been using Floy tags and really like being able to track the fish. I started tracking from the beginning and am on year 2 so I have lots of good data.
I can send you a Multi Year, Excel spreadsheet to track the Relative weights that a fellow Pond Boss member designed if you are interested. It also has a field for the ID/Tag number. Just send me a private message with your email.
I recently posted on the forum regarding an issue I had with an infection on a fish due to the Floy tag and have been looking at the PIT tags. They are more expensive but much smaller and safer for the fish.
Keep up the good work!
