Tagging Fish For Prizes

[trout_slayer]

I havent read everyone's comments on this post yet since I have to go really quick, but I know in Idaho they have been doing that for a looooong time now. My Uncle caught 3 tagged fish up there last year and won over $400 for all 3. I think I did see TD say something about it is for biologists' recordings of how the fish grow and he is right on that, because when my Uncle called about it to get his prize they ask for the tag number and all kinds of info and they also let you know when they marked the fish how big it was and such. Anyhow, I think it is a good idea to an extent, but then again the fishing pressure will rise also!!! Just my two worthless pennies!!!
