Tagged Crappie

Hey guys I caught a tagged crappie this weekend, which is my first ever. I've already called it in and I asked the lady if I could get the tag back after I mailed it in for the reward. She said yes they would mail it back if I requested it. So my question to you guys is: How many of you collect your tags like duck bands, and what are some cool things you do with them such as putting a duck band on your call lanyard. If you have a pic of your idea please post it, I've never seen any ideas for crappie tags. Thanks, look forward to your replies.

They tagged a bunch of fish in Conway a few years back and I caught ten of them or so but I didn't even think about asking for them back. A lot of the game and fish lakes are doing studies on crappie and are putting rewards on them. They also tagged a bunch of catfish in Conway too. After all that said glad for you hope it's one of the big rewards.

I have caught several tagged crappie out of lake conway, I sent the tags in and I think that all of them were five dollar tags. I never requested them back. I never really seen a secondary use for them I guess. it was pretty neat the first time I caught a tagged crappie out of conway, then it seem to be pretty regular for a couple of months to catch them with tags. I aint caught a tagged crappie at all this year.

We caught several Catfish that were tagged out of Nimrod Lake. Collected 10 buck for most but one was worth 25.
Suppose to be some worth 100. Never requested the tags back.

I've caught one out of lake PB about 8 months ago and have never received the reward or the tag back.

i have some tags off ducks but never one off a fish. i have a had my duck mounted with the bands on there legs but fish have no legs:yikes i all was like to have bands. i even seen some of them on ebay

Never caught one.
