ADDITIONAL REMARKS: Tag was recorded and the fish was released with original tag.

“I caught this fish back on 8/12/25., on 9/26/25 I hooked up on a big fish, and when it surfaced, I was shocked to see it was a fish that had one of my tags. As soon as I boated it, I looked cleared the growth off the tag and looked up the tag number and was completely blown away that I had caught and tagged this exact fish 5 weeks earlier! Fish was released with original tag intact!”
