I caught a tagged fish earlier this month. Here is the data I got back from the DNR.

Cool info! 78 miles in 22 days would make me eat a random lure too.

Thanks for sharing!

It’s simply amazing how far fish can travel in a short amount of time.

3.5 miles per day assuming it spread it out equally.

Crp. I just remembered I never turned in a tagged sturgeon from this spring. Is it too late to enter into DNR database?

As long as you have the data, I doubt there is a deadline for submission. Any data will help with their tracking efforts.

Brian, they have fish documented that have made that journey in 72 hours. I know I couldn’t swim it in 10X’s that amount
