There was a small tagging program here for a while too....

LOL Greg Andrew lurking in the sonar cone?!
I would love to have the opportunity to tag fish. I feel like it would be even more incentive to release more fish.
Having GoPro really helps when releasing too. I feel like even with the fish I keep, the video is the most valuable part of the equation.
