Report your tag. They'll tell you where and when then fish was initially tagged.

Caught two walleye last June with tags. One had the $100 :;:rockit But I never got back any info on the reward band. The other was released and tagged a month earlier in Grand River Mobridge SD. Made it to Yates in just under 4 weeks.

I caught 3 tagged walleyes on the same day last July, one with a reward. They sent me the information on all 3 fish within a week, but I have yet to see my $100. . .

In the distant past I've caught tagged walleyes on New Johns and the Missouri River and shot a tagged turkey out of a tree when I was about 12.

My one walleye i got mounted was tagged. This was in lake kampeska by watertown and back in 96 i have the info some where but i would have to dig. I thought it was cool to have the little tag behind the dorsal fin in the mount. Have not caught any of the tagged oahe fish yet

I caught a few tagged ones last year and also sent info in. No reward ones for this guy. I generally release the tagged ones (unless caught in the dark with JK and then he claims later when it's light out) after recording the tag # and length thinking that if that same fish is caught a few more times and reported, that the information gained through multiple reportings is much more beneficial than just 1 reporting. Anyone else agree with that?

I have caught one tagged eye in my life, and it went right back in the water. I got a note from G & F about a week later. Turned in two tagged salmon heads last fall, and it took about 4 months, but got info back a week or so ago. Interesting.

Sluggo, if we weren't in your boat, I'd have been more adamant that that fish was mine, but what could I do? Shore was too far of a swim... water was cold.

I had to physically take the tag to the GFP to get paid.
