Palssonater Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 My wife Jenn caught a tagged walleye this past weekend. Kind of like a leg band from a goose. lol. You actually get a 5 dollar reward for mailing in the tag. We were fishing in a small river close a spot we call the rock. Beautiful day with just enough breeze to keep the bugs to a minimum.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 That's very cool. I've never caught, or even seen for that matter, a tagged fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed160 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 In Minnesota we have a fabulous walleye lake, Mille Lacs. They really track the fish so cathing the tagged ones is fairly common. We had 4 tags on 6 trips there last year. The river looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Cool! But I think I need to help you fish that area! BEAUTIFUL!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 That's cool! The only one I caught was 2 years ago when Ashley and I first met up here. We went out fishing and I caught this walleye that had a tag in it. For some dumb reason I didn't hold the fish so you could see the tag in the pic. It was on the other side of him.

bulldawg Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I've caught 6 0r 7 tagged fish in my lifetime. 1 of them was a big northern pike, the others were walleyes. The tags in Wisconsin resemble a firecracker. You take the tag(all were on keeper sized fish), or the tag number, and mail it in, and the DNR sends you a readout of where it was tagged and what year. It's cool, and neat to see what the growth rate is on the fish. One fish I got was only tagged a week before I caught it. It tasted good...lol.
