We caught a $50 fish two years in a row and caught one with a tag from the year before also. We always get in to support the association.

We enter every time we are there, was cleaning the fish when right before I ran the electric knife thru it we discovered the tag. Rushed it back to the livewell. Next morning it was still alive, got $50.00 for it!!!
