Caught bunches of them over the years, USF&WS, Hudson River tags, and American Littoral Society, which I had tagged a few fish for years ago.
Got hats, pins and a poster.
Folks up here say that the Hudson River population does not mix with the Chesapeake fish but one night several years back drifting eels in Barnstable Harbor, my bud Eric landed two tagged fish in a row. One had a Hudson River tag and the other the USFWS tag. I usually get a couple a year. Got 3 last year, all ALS yeloow tags.
I hate the way they do it with the tag thru the fished back and it's always nasty when you get one. I cut them off just to relieve the fish of the stress of the constant open wound.
