Guest hookedonhunting Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 i started tagging them in the pond behind my house yesterday and hoping to catch some of them again. how i did it: i took a single hole puncher, u know like the ones u have at the office for paper, anyway, and put a hole in their top dorsal fin. i dont know how long it will take or even if it will grow back. no fish were harmed during this experiment! atleast i hope not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Re: started tagging fish I don't think it will hurt them, as long as you don't cut the first couple of spines. Good idea. I think you'll be surprised at the number of "repeat customers" you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birddog Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: started tagging fish I would love to tag fish here! Especially on a few of my favorite haunts :-) It is not legal in MN to tag a fish without a DNR permit so be sure to check your local regulations before doing this.....It would be a blast to see how many times you can catch the same fish, and measure it's length/weight.....wish we could do it! Sweet for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
