Two of the bass I had caught this week were tagged. The 1st one looked like a pink sticking out from its side. The 2nd one is a yellow band that went thru his tail. The writing on it is hard to read but this is what I've found RETURN TO RAL SOC HIGHLAND. Is anyone familiar with these?

Its a good thing...
Sometimes a reward goes with turning a tag in....?

Check the internet out -
See if you can locate the origin - or the original tagging group/person.

Yea I tag them when I catch them behind sic/avalon. It helps out learning about the fish and there habits. Make sure you mail it in and they will send you info on who tagged it and the size, etc.
