I have killed 2 Doves , 2 Canadian Geese and caught 4 tagged Catfish.
In 2010 we actually caught 4 small Catfish on Nimrod with double tags worth money. My 3 Catfish tags were worth 10 , 10 , and 25 dollars. The one my fishing partner caught was a 10 dollar tag. Well this week I finally caught another tagged Catfish about 3 lbs. Have yet to call or send it in.
Just wondering how many folks have gotten fish or game that had been tagged?
We caught 4 tagged catfish out of Lake Hogue a few years ago. 3 $10 and 1 $100 dollar tag. Never saw any of the money. Been trying for twenty years for a banded duck or goose.
?????? The fish here just have ''reward'' phone # and tag # on the tag. I took mine to the regional office instead of calling in and got mine later in the mail. Guess you turned them in by phone ? :donoQuote:

2 banded wood ducks. one was on black river and had been banded on big lake. the other was from south dakota and killed in a rice field of all places
I caught a tag crappie in Nimrod a few years ago, called it in and about two or three months later, I called to see what it was worth and they said five dollars and then about a month or so later I got a check. Ha. That was my first and probably my last.
1 tagged crappie off of Lake Pine Bluff, 1 double banded mallard, numerous trout when I used to catch those nasty things
I have tagged thousands of crappie,catfish, and trout, and have yet to catch one of them. I guess that means that I work to much and don't fish enough. I did catch a tagged rainbow trout on the Eleven Point River in southern Missouri when I was a kid. I thought that it was the coolest thing at the time.
7 mallard bands, 1 was worth $100, 1 teal, 1 woody, 1 pin tail, 3 Canada's, 1 dove, and.........0 fish :(......I took my son-in-law duck hunting last season and he killed his first wood duck ever and yep....it was banded and not locally! And then there is the fake band on a duck trick, I always carry one and have gotten some great memories with that!...............I've always thought a great promotion would be for private companies to band or tag fish and game with large rewards and put them across the country. If the rewards were large enough it would create quite a commotion and be great advertising. I remember a rumor years back that Crown Royal had banded some ducks with solid gold bands and turned one loose in each of the fly ways. It was only a rumor ( imagine that with sportsmen ) but it sure did have everyone in my neck of the woods talking about it for a couple of years.
I almost forgot to tell you congrats on getting another tag last week!......Quote:

That's some good trophy's.......did they come looking for the transmitters?......I know a guy that killed a mallard with one and some students from ASU showed up at his house wanting it back. They said they couldn't go on Christmas break until they retrieved it, so he gave it back.Quote:

Crappie from Reelfoot and trout from Little Red and Spring
4 crappie from Reelfoot in the Crappiethon era, 4 honkers, 8 ducks, 1 dove and a parrot.
One walleye that was caught in Ontario and one crappie from perry county mo.
D10 sent me a message the fish I caught were stocked near Boles Arkansas on the Fouche la Fave River. Those fish must have traveled about 60 miles to get to where I caught them! Just shows how far fish move.
That's pretty incredible,never would have they would travel so far!Quote:

Congratulations on the tagged traveling fish. 60 miles seems like a long way for a fish to swim.
One double banded mallard one of which was a $50 reward tag. I've put tags in quite a few bass, crappie, trout and catfish.
Since we caught 5 of those fish that were released about 60 miles away , my guess is the spring flooods every year helped wash them down to the lake. Thanks, hope you or Carol can help catch another one if there is any left.Quote:

I've only caught one tagged fish and I was the one that tagged it.
Other than that, 5 Canada geese of which one had a neck collar, a lot of banded ducks( I'd have to count the bands to be exact, but probably near 20) and one speck. I'd love to kill a dove with a band!
Yep one of the Geese I killed had a collar also.Quote:

Sometime later I got info back from Game & Fish about the fish, when and where released and size at time of released.
Caught a tagged crappie from Harris Break last winter worth a whopping 10 bucks helped replace all the jigs I lost to catch him!
