How cool it that, I caught a $100 fish. Most I've ever earned off a fish, ever!

I caught a Bass, while crappie fishing. It had that tag on it. I called up, and they're sending me $100, yay. I spoke with the biologist for a while and found out the bass was tagged last November, and was released at the Northern end of the lake. I caught it at the Southern end by Griffin Lake state park. Traveled a long way, but it did have almost a year to get there. The biologist said it was 14.25 inches long when released. Regretfully I did not measure it. I simply released it. Dang, I did not even take a pic. And that's not me, I take pics of everything. Oh well. The crazy thing is, I woulda guessed the bass was only about 13 inches long. That's way different than 14.25, and perhaps I was that much off. But still, the fish did not grow much if any, in just about a whole year. Kinda shows you the fishery here still does not have a good baitfish population. That bass traveled that far for a bite, just to barely sustain himself! Poor fishy. doh
