Rio Vista...Sacramento River

Yesterday was a great day besides the fog.  I was soaking dines for them stripers and all fish that proceeded to in-golfed my bait were all keeper size.  But the most rewarding one came with a surprise TAG.  It measured 35inches, my biggest so far.  All fish were released but I mangaged to keep the tag.

 

Thats A mighy big tag there buddy! Were was it attached? Any pics?...Andy

Congrads'!! 35" is a beast.....thanks for the report&details!
I've caught one with the same tag...wrote the number down. Accessed DFG site and printed a copy, reported the details and sent it in...left the tag in the fish for the next catch&report.

WTG on the 35" striper yester. What do you mean by soaking dines? Sorry for
asking just curious.

Dines is most likely Sardines.

Sorry Andy no pix for I'd forgot the camera at home.  The tag was underneath the top big dorsal fin inbeaded through the skin. 

Yea!  Like Abdiver said Sardines. 

35 is indeed a fatty...congrats.

Congrats on the nice fish!

Thanks FisHunter!  I'll remind myself next time I plan on not keeping the fish.  I just wasn't sure for if there was any prize and that's why I keeped the tag as this was my first tagged fish caught. 

Nice work on the stripers.  35 inches, that's quality!  Interesting report on the tag too.

Congrats.

Congrats on the nice fish and tag, to boot!

I think the Fishunter tagged a few lingzilla with swimbaits this year.

Next time you should leave the tag. You should report the tag recovery to fish and ga
E.  Nice fish BTW
