Got my tag and recapture certificate information from Suntag for my Bass I caught and released earlier this month :

It was originally tagged at Mt Crosby Weir back in June 05 at 270mm
Recaptured just below Wivenhoe 58kms upstream at 550mm
Days out 2160
Growth 280mm

Compared to some of the other tagged bass information , this fish has been on roids !!!!

Cheers,
Dave.

Interesting info Dave. Agreed, that is very good growth for a river fish.

Thanks for sharing.

In 16 years this fish only grew 50mm??? Maybe this fish went over the BigW wall in 99' and has done it tough in the river ever since .

Cheers,

Maybe he only grew for another couple of years and then stopped.  I don't suppose his name was Garry??
