6 year old son caught a tagged male sauger 18" around 4 bears may 15th, it was tagged from the yellowsatone near sidney MT april 10th of this year.
spoke with the FNP biologist out there and he said this is actually very common for these saugers to spawn out there and return to the lake for the remainder of the year

it was the yellow dorsal tag not the jaw tag.

There was a team in the cup that caught 2 tagged fish in one day. I’ve never caught one on Sak yet, got a few on Audubon.

20.5 in Female caught in Garrison Bay on 6/7 that was tagged 5/3 in Douglas Bay and a 20.5 in female caught in Douglas Bay that was tagged in Douglas Bay.

I caught a 24" in the Governor's Cup. Went on the G&F website and entered it but I haven't gotten any info about where it was tagged.

I caught my first/only tagged walleye last year. It was 27” male up in Van Hook. The fish was tagged in 2006 in White Earth at 18”.

Damn, that's a big male! I bet 99% of the C&R people would have patted themselves on the back for releasing a large female.

And before I get too damn judgmental, I kept a livewell full of "males" this spring, all about 14-16 inches. Only to find out about 80% were actually females once I put the knife to them. Derp...

Talked to a guy that caught a tagged walleye pre fishing the cup by Douglas Bay. Fish was tagged this spring at Deep Water Bay.

 

[LBrandt]

That was an old fish if caught in 2018 and tagged in 2006 at 18". Close to 20 years old I think.

 

[shedwalker]

29.2 inch female caught at Church Island pre-fishing the cup in 2007. The fish was tagged in Steinke Bay in 2004 and was 25.2 inches.

Caught 2 in the same day on river north of town tagged the year before 2 days apart at huff. Also caught 2 on Audobon tagged like 3 weeks before. And one on Sak. a few years back tagged in Steinke caught west of Douglas.

Damn, that's a big male! I bet 99% of the C&R people would have patted themselves on the back for releasing a large female.

That was my thoughts when I released it.

 

[Riverbottoms]

These must be all lies! I thought fish don’t migrate much. LMAO thanks NDGF

Not my fish but a few years ago I was sitting out on the top of my boathouse at Metigoshe in the evening watching a guy out in front of my neighbors cabin casting. I saw him take a few fish. I hollered "What are you catching?" and he replied that he had caught 3 tagged walleyes in 30 minutes. Never have I ever seen a tagged fish on Metigoshe. I know the NDG&F stocks the lake, so some are probably tagged.

I caught one down by New Town on Saturday. It was tagged April 26, 2019 at White Earth Bay and was a 17.7" male.

 

[Stobber]
