Default Sat Tags

Took the Sat-tag guys (Derke, Matt and Justin) out yesterday to try and tag a daytime fish wth the tags the Sword Club help purchase.

Upon our arrival, RJ was on his second fish of the day so he called us over to put one in the fish he was fighting. All three guys jump over to his boat and put a sat tag in a fish about 120 lbs.

We made a drop and managed to get a 50 lb fish to the boat in good shap and another sat tag goes to work.

Both fish were in great condition when the were released.

RJ went on to catch another nice fish that had an old tag in it. Great story to be told by RJ soon! He is getting the info from who tagged it.

Derke, Matt and Justin are great to have on the boat and did a great job with those fish!

Great work and great cause. Any pics of the tags going in? I'd love to see positioning and how it looks. Your work will make a hell of a diff for all.

Thanks!
