[QUOTE="pluckem, post: 30984, member: 843"] I have always wondered why so many keep the tagged fish they do catch. I know some want to keep the actual tag/band as something cool, put it on a keychain or a necklace... Cool if that what you want to do. Or if fishing isn't that great and you really want to eat it.. that's fine. But I also know of many people who have no problem catching a limit or keeping the freezer/fridge stocked that will keep the fish. Why not measure the fish, take a picture of the tag #'s (easy to do, everyone now pretty much has a camera on their phone) and release the fish. When reported you still get a certificate with the information. Then the tagged fish goes back into the system with all the same data recorded and can be caught again. Imagine the patterns that could be figured out if some fish have multiple data points over the years. Just seems like with the amount of money the G&F spends on these studies we could do more to help increase the amount of information they get. [/QUOTE]
