Got the first one last year. Mine was tagged off of south NJ about a year or so prior and didn't grow much...less than 1/2 ". (I got my off gay head). Also it looked to be sore around the tag area. I measured the fish and pulled the tag just a little and it came out....then I let it go.

They send me a "certificate of participation" and a hat that does not fit well.

I got some tags myself this year and plan to tag 10 fish.

Most of the ones I got were from smaller fish that were tagged in the Hudson. Most of them were caught in the same spot. The biggest tagged fish was around 30 inches. A 41 inch tagged fish is AWESOME!!!!!!!

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"?

"I caught you a delicious bass"
