29" fish took a mack from me today. Had a pink tag in its belly that I snipped off and slid him back in after taking a measurement on the deck. Just cleaned the growth off the tag and it says " Reward " with the 800 tel # and the tag number. Called the #, was voicemail for USFWS. So will call tomorrow. After doing a search here, it looks like a pin or hat for the reward. Now if it had been a green tag....... Anyone else had a pink USFWS tag recently or know what tags are good for $$$$? This fish was healthy, even where the tag was inserted. Much better than the two ALS fish I have caught. Those wounds were nasty......
