Pau Hana Fishing

Postby roadwarriorsvt » Tue Nov 15, 2011 6:07 pm

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! :roll: 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!

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.
