Jim,
I also caught a tagged bass last night - all of 16 inches. I was just about to release it and noticed the spaghetti tag.
Hudson River Foundation tag #568696. What was your number? Tag was brand new with no growth on it. Only my third HRF tag ever. Looks like there may have been some good spawns in the Hudson area. Although this season is comparably slow for me I have noticed quite an abundance of very small bass in the areas I fish that have sand eels present. Those very small bass have been missing for quite a while - good sign they're back.
