CMM, I did not tag any fish. I still think it would be fun but I still record most fish caught {even though they don't ever have much to say)... get it? Anyway, am waiting until May 1'st to strongly fish for my Florid lmb to see how they are doing. Wanted to wait until they were for sure in post spawn. I hope to have some 2 pounders at least. How have your tagged fish progressed?
Flame, I see most fish tagged increasing in length, weight, and wr. Of the 30 or so tagged, about 10 of them have been caught multiple times. Usually in the same area of my 4 acre pond. One I caught a few days ago was tagged 2 years ago and the tag area was very irritated. May be stress from spawning. Otherwise healthy and good wr, 92% just post spawn.
It adds real excitement for me to land a tagged fish.
I think in most states, only one party has to agree to recording, check state laws. Hee hee.
