Jmat321 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Caught and released a tagged fish Sat night. Before letting it go, I measured, weighted it on my boga, and cut the tag off. Tag is bright yellow and has some coding on it. What's the next step? I assume I mail it somewhere along with the length/weight & date/location caught. How do I find out where to send it? Are their websites I can go on to punch the data in? I'd like to find out where the fish was originally caught myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadabout Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 That is probably an American Littoral Society tag. Go here to find info on where to send it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedJeep Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 ALS wants the tag back to be sure you did really catch the fish. You will receive a neat gold fish patch and what ever info the tagger sent in. I find tagging slows me down, blitz or slow day, no matter.

Canal Intruder Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I sent 1 in about 5 years ago, and got a write up and 5 bucks! the fish was 30 lbs and i let it go. I think i opened the tag open with a razorblade and the address was on the inside?? not sure it was awhile ago Henry All Gave Some, Some Gave All Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The address should be on tag. Berkley striper clubs tags are yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedJeep Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Since I hit this last I have been in contact with the American Littoral Society. They had a question on one of "my" tags. I was sure of what I had tagged and when. It turns out that the number on the returned tag was too hard to read and they had the wrong tagger. So if the experts can't get the number right without serious magnification, you can't be trusted to get it right, between tail slaps. If you have any tags in your glove box, tackle box or fish jacket pocket, please send them in with all the information you have. And I got two more tags back, Thanks Guys.

Texican Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I caught a striper a couple years ago with a green tag. The tag said $125 reward with a phone # on it. Called sent it in and a few weeks later I got a check and a certificate where the striper was tagged from. I have the certificate framed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
