Redcrbber, my wife got one in Boston Harbor last year from the Littoral Society. I posted similar thread about how the tag had collected a bunch of seaweed and was severely irritating the bass' back.
It was punched all the way thru the back and the two tag ends were tied together.
I was a bit po'd cause if they are trying to help the fish, they should figure out a way to tag 'em without hurting them. The holes had healed up, but the weight of the weed had reopened and the back was all raw where tag and weed was laying.
It was only going to get worse, so I'm glad we got it and removed the tag.
