Cut the yellow ALS tag at the knot to avoid cutting through the six digit ID number. Make a note where/when you caught the fish, it's fork length, and if the fish is of legal size and if you keep the fish and happen to weigh it, its weight. Weight is not critical info because the guy/gal who tagged and released that fish did not and could not accurately measure its weight at time of release.
Send info with tag to Pam Carlsen Director of the ALS fish tagging program in Sandy Hook, NJ. You will be a hero and will be rewarded. I've tagged more than 1,000 fish for the ALS (42 returns so far) but I've never caught a fish with a tag. Consider yourself lucky. Buy a lottery ticket with the same number. Who knows!
