All these years of fishing and never caught a tagged fish. My dad caught a few and I think he got a hat.
I wish they would put those new pop-up tags on bass that pop up at different times, this way I could track a school of fish to see exactly where they hang out from week to week.

The belly tagged fish is a federal tagged fish most likely or a HRF fish. The federal tagged fish you will get a hat. the Yellow tags behind the Dorsil is a Littoral tagged fish and they are out of Sandy Hook, New Jersey with a Highlands address and you will receive a patch, and a breif discreption of location, size, weight, and individual who caught it the first time.

I've caught 3 tagged fish. Got a nice letter from the U.S. Department of the Interior, fish and wildlife service. (Maryland Fisheries Resource Office) thanking me for "participating". "Form" letter said tagging takes place from Massachusetts to North Carolina.
The enclosed "certificate" is very nice. Yellow parchment paper with a pic of a bass and data about the tagged fish.
tag # 198299, date tagged 11/13/1991, hatchery fish, Patuxent river in MD, tagging agency MDHAT (Maryland hatchery)
tag# 334928, date tagged 4/13/98, wild, Rappahannock river in VA, tagging agency VAVINS (Virginia ???) that was a decent fish about 35 pounds, 45 inches.
tag#31533, date tagged 11/15/88, release site: Little Neck Bay (Long Island)
size at release:18.1 inches, wild, tagging agency NYDECCST
All caught in the canal
got a hat with a logo and printed "participant striped bass consevation" for each fish.

I too caught a tagged bass in November. The tag is from the Hudson River Foundation. There tag is located in the lower, back belly area whereas the American Littoral Society tag is located up behind the dorsal fin area. The Hudson tag is 3 inches and straight wheras the Littoral tag is looped.

My 10 year old caught one with a USFWS tag and we called right from the boat, he got a great pin and a nice wall hanging showing where the striper was tagged. He had been caught only 30 days before somewhere down south.

The Littoral tagged fish I got this year was belly tagged. I can't remember where the tag was located on the Littoral tagged fish I caught several yeras ago.
