Check that number, there is a 10,000 dollar tagged striper lurking in the ocean.

Looks like an American Littoral Society tag, yellow dorsal tag.

Since you released it without taking the tag, I wouldn't worry about it.

Send in the tag number and info, they will use it. Often you'll get a token reward (like a hat) for your trouble.

it looks like it could be a loop, but you can't tell under the seaweed, there is something else written under it
but then again that seaweed might not be there if it were not a loop.
did you take the seaweed off before release?
I am not an expert at all, that is just my observation
I never caught a tagged bass

it wasnt a loop, i did move the seaweed and take some off, didnt want to keep it out of water too long though plus the mouth was a bit rough and it wasnt easy lol.

You might want to contact these guys for info:
Berkeley Striper Club
Looks like the tag and number are consistent with their tagging program. |
 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Normally you end up with a hat and a certificate of participation. I once got a GIS map that showed where it was originally tagged and where I eventually caught it, along with a projected route. Kinda cool.
