Caught first tagged fish

[PeterF]

We went out today and did very well most fish came on spinner baits. The first photo is of a 3lb 7oz on a black double prop buzz bait. I was throwing it over lilly pads.

This fish was 5lb 1oz and I caught on a crank bait. I was hitting a tree thats been in the water for about 2 years. I was running it over the limbs and pausing it when it would hit them. During one of those pauses, it nailed it.

Here's a picture of the tag.

Stats:

Date        Weight      Length   Girth   Location   Lure

1-15-07    4lb 6oz       23.5     12.5       4c         Jig

2-25-07    5lb 1oz       23.75   14.5       5b         Crank Bait

The first time the fish was caught was on the point to the left and the second on the right. Distance is approx. 350 ft.

Thats cool that you checked it in and entered the info.....and if nothing else,I think the stats on tagged fish are interesting. I have only caught one tagged fish before and it was tagged and released for a "tournament" and was worth $100 bucks. Only problem was that I caught it about 2 weeks after the tournament was over.
