Still nice and cool out. Mike set a new tag speed record and we were able to tag 281 bass at the NH BASS Federation tournament!!! Three tagged largemouth (all about 16 inches) were weighed in. Two of the recaptures were originally tagged on 6-30-07. One of these was recaptured approximately 5.5 miles from Ames Farm and the other was recaptured approximately 2 miles from Ames Farm. The third tagged largemouth of the day was originally tagged on 7-1-07 and was recaptured in the general “Ames Farm Cove” area.

We caught two tagged bass during the Derby and released them. Who is collecting information about the fish and what information do they want?
