After I got off work today, Tue 11-15-11, I headed out for a little bank fishing. I was running low on light so I used a white Gary Yamamoto in the clear fast flowing water. Nevermind it was on the top of my tacklebox! Caught this guy that was tagged. The tag was old and badly discolored. The numbers "appeared" like 0642. Not sure though. Caught another one of the usual 1-1.5 lb.er before it got dark. A nice way to end a day!

That had to be tagged in 2008 or before...
T, am I going to have to get you a measuring tape and a pair of reading glasses???

Ummmm,.... I WAS wearing my glasses! Is it time for bi-focals?

Got this back from Annette:


Hi Stan,
Tag #0642 is one of the hatchery bass hatchlings tagged and released on 11/13/03. Not bad for a fish that was out for 8 yrs.

Thanks for the feedback Stan. If the bass was released 8 years ago, I'm guessing that he is roughly 9 years old. I'm estimating that ne was close to 2 lbs. (maybe). This may be good for the biologist who is helping us to know.
