Awesome.. please post as soon as you hear back!!

Nice fish.. I'd imagine we are primarily the only ones tagging swords right? Not sure if the guys in NZ or up north are doing any tagging...

I'd very curious to hear the results.

Thanks for sharing

i have cought and released several small fish. Should we be tagging? If so, How would i get information and supplies for tagging?

1/2 looks like a go for me.... catch you on the 72.....

I'm going to see about getting SFC tags that I'll distribute to all the members here... Maybe we can get a post about properly tagging the little guys without injurying them...

I'll look around for some custom tags and keep you posted...

yea whoever taged my fish didn't properly tag the fish they stuck him right in the middle of the meat...yea getting sfc tags sounds like a great idea has anyone ever caught a taged swordfish before?? i havn't heard of anyone

If I had tags, I'd start releasing those 55 inchers. It is a good idea for us to learn a little more.

the TBF tags swords. also taging is a common occurance among longline vessals with observers aboard. UM has a tagging project also.

remember the comercial guys have a motive with tagging. they want the fisherys opeaned up again, so if they can prove the population is healty through tagging they will try.

since the fish was taged badly in the (laterel line ?) i would assume it was taged by a longliner north of cuba, most rec. guys have a easier tag since they are closer to the water line.

thats just my $.02

nice fish though

the lady from the billfish foundation said the fish was tagged in 02 and the captin lives in jacksonville dosn't clarify where the fish was caught or the size...because the captin didn't fill out the card so they are trying to contact the captin will post any new info i get
