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......
Big differance between the average ALS tagger and a trained biologist...it's funny about tagged fish, they seem to run in cycles... I havent got one an about 3 years now, the last time i got tagged fish I got 3 the same week... all taged in Maryland the same day...BTW... all hat fish.

A good run is better than a bad stand!
