Through the bottom jaw , I'd prefer to see them Gaffed. Anywhere else , they should try to tag them without lifting them out of the water at all.
I saw a program on tarpon fishing and they were gaffing them in the lower lip just to lift the fish and take a picture. Then they released them. I didn't see any sense in that at all either.
It seems to me the could tag them by just pulling them along side then jabbing the tag thing into them.
