Do you keep the fish and the tag, rip the tag off/out, or take down the number and let the fish go? Do they want to know length or girth or weight, or only location?

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

IMO, they don't ask for enough info. I caught a Littoral tagged fish about a month ago and I had everything from xacxt L/L to length, weight, girth, water temp, etc etc. As you can see from the tag return form in the link, they don't need to know all that.
It's your choice whether or not to keep the fish. In either case they request that you cut the tag off and send it to them. |

Returning Fish Tags
Cut the yellow ALS tag at the knot to avoid cutting through the six digit ID number. Make a note where/when you caught the fish, it's fork length, and if the fish is of legal size and if you keep the fish and happen to weigh it, its weight. Weight is not critical info because the guy/gal who tagged and released that fish did not and could not accurately measure its weight at time of release.
Send info with tag to Pam Carlsen Director of the ALS fish tagging program in Sandy Hook, NJ. You will be a hero and will be rewarded. I've tagged more than 1,000 fish for the ALS (42 returns so far) but I've never caught a fish with a tag. Consider yourself lucky. Buy a lottery ticket with the same number. Who knows!
