I caught two one day in May a few years back in a cove in Warwick. They were 25"-27" or so. Both had been tagged in the Thames the previous December. Probably by that guy who tags like a gazillion in there I saw on some show. Had another one at Matunuck one April that was about 9" long. I left my then 9 y/o to guard the fish while I sprinted for some snippers. As I was running back a wave comes up and bye bye fish.... I told my son it was probably worth $1000. After that every fish was greeted by "does he have a tag"?
