SC Marine Game Fish Tagging Program

Caught a Tagged Fish

Record the tag number.
Record the date, precise location of catch and type of fish.
Measure and record the total length of the fish. Measurement should be taken from the tip of the lower jaw to the tip of the tail. If a fork length (lower jaw to midpoint of tail) is taken please indicate this after the measurement.
If you are mailing in the information indicate what was done with the fish. For example, was the fish released with tag intact or was the fish retained.
Report the recapture as soon as possible.
Recapture information can be either called in or mailed with attention to the appropriate program.
