Free: Contests & Raffles.
Yesterday morning, since the wife was out of town, I went fishing. Didn't have to load anything but water because my gear lives in the pu. Get to the lake and first cast, Fish On! Put it on the stringer. Then there was a lull in the action for 1/2 Hr. Then it was boom, boom, boom. Every time the bait hit the bottom I was getting bites. Couldn't even get the slack out after the cast and they nibbling (Had to be little ones, they went after it like piranhas) Well after landing my limit and flicking off two ticks, I head home.Once home I toss the trout on to the table out side to process them and find that the very first fish caught was tagged.This morning, after finding my phone (which also lives in the pu and is always dead) and recharging, I call the # on the tag. The gal said that something wasn't right with the tag number and the system told her to follow a different protocol and contact a supervisor. This could be something interesting she said, if it's not on her list. For a 1/2 hour I waited for the call, thinking, what could the prize be if it's not on her list and she has to go to a supervisor ? This could be a mega prize that wasn't published !I've been fishing and catching in a lake stocked with tagged fish but putting back the fish since I didn't see a tag and had no real need for the trout. I assumed the tag was on an outside fin or something obvious. Did you have to clean the fish to find the tag? When the call came, I was informed that it was an operator error, that is why she was directed to a supervisor.The end result is that I get a $25 dollar gift card for Ranch and Home in Kennewick.That's a $25 dollar fish I caught I have never caught a tagged fish and by god it will taste good !!
