Great program, and between my dad and myself, we received $600 from Bass Pro, Dick's sporting goods and Rapala in gift cards and t-shirts also plus it provides valuable info for FWC

I smell a gold rush a'comin.  

 

 

Suddenly a panhandle vacation seems like a much better idea.  

If you caught 5 a week you could live on it

Hmmmmm work at fast food for minimum wage or fish all week and make more

Lol

I think I'd catch a few and tie strings to em

And randomly take them in

This is a fantastic idea. Booms the economy, help the FWC, helps the anglers. I wish Texas would do something like this!!!

I think it is a great program. Kudos to the FWC.

Sounds good to me too, just imagine finding a pack of tagged fish...

It's a nice program. I received $200 worth of gift cards from Bass Pro Shops for entering the one in my avatar.

I have $150 coming.

thats badass its almost like being paid to fish

Wow!

 

This is especially interesting to have some of our guys cashing checks!

Doesn't Texas have a mount program? Brian.

They're doing a similar thing in the White River here in Indiana. Certain species, including largemouth bass have been tagged, and if you catch one - document, photo, and take the tag to the DNR office, they'll give you a BPS gift card.

 

I have yet to catch one, but then again, I'm also usually going out for smallmouth in the river.
