I've caught 3 tagged fish. Got a nice letter from the U.S. Department of the Interior, fish and wildlife service. (Maryland Fisheries Resource Office) thanking me for "participating". "Form" letter said tagging takes place from Massachusetts to North Carolina.
The enclosed "certificate" is very nice. Yellow parchment paper with a pic of a bass and data about the tagged fish.
tag # 198299, date tagged 11/13/1991, hatchery fish, Patuxent river in MD, tagging agency MDHAT (Maryland hatchery)
tag# 334928, date tagged 4/13/98, wild, Rappahannock river in VA, tagging agency VAVINS (Virginia ???) that was a decent fish about 35 pounds, 45 inches.
tag#31533, date tagged 11/15/88, release site: Little Neck Bay (Long Island)
size at release:18.1 inches, wild, tagging agency NYDECCST

All caught in the canal

got a hat with a logo and printed "participant striped bass consevation" for each fish.
