Sword Recapture

CaptKen · 10-13-2009, 07:13 PM

I Tagged a daytimer on 9/15, 50incher we caught 2 that day, kept 1, tagged the other, It was recaptured the next day 5 miles to the north. Not sure if it was recaptured in the day or night.

I guess in Sept they are North bound, So put that in the memory bank for next Sept, If they bite off PE one day fish off Hillsbourgh the next.

VERY cool to be successfully tagged, released, and recaptured.

Nice Ken.

Reminds me. I just heard back from TBF about a fish I caught in December of 2007 (I never gave them my contact info...duh). We caught this tagged fish somewhere a bit north of PE around the 50 line. It was caught in July of that year just a couple miles north.

I wish more people would tag the fish they released (including me). It is a good tool.

PURPLE FEVER · 10-14-2009, 10:43 AM

WTG Ken! Its pretty neat getting that kind of info!

HURRIKANEIII · 10-14-2009, 11:08 AM

Thank you for the information.

dpdash · 10-14-2009, 03:15 PM

The least they could do was give you a few steaks

surfinsteve1 · 10-14-2009, 05:51 PM

Graet job Capt. Ken. I have a few Recaptures myself and hope someday if they are interested enough in the info they wouldn't charge so much for the tags or atleast add a couple in to the purchase of your HMSL.

Great Escape · 10-14-2009, 09:33 PM

Thanks for sharing. Great to piece of info to remember.

Way cool Cap't Ken for data on re-capture.
The pic of the 50" fish you released is phenomenal.

you are king of tagging , good quote from your dad we all should think about more often.

I guess that fish learned nothing from you hooking it. got caught again so soon.
