We urge you to double check your hurricane supplies, evacuate if needed, and stay safe! ready.gov/hurricanes Lately, we have had many recaptures reported that do not have original tagging information. If you tag a fish with a TBF tag, remember to write down as much info as possible on the tag card and mail it in - or input the data yourself at tagbillfish.org ! pic.twitter.com/YFxVFaImKR Check out the publications page of our website to read about the research TBF has helped complete, including a new paper by a previous intern! billfish.org/publications/ In July of 2019, Capt Chase Fulton tagged this sword aboard Broad Minded near Islamorada. One year later, it was recaptured 1660nm away in Nova Scotia by Capt Lorne Pace and mate Harold Henneberry aboard Granddad's Caress. In that year, it grew from a modest 50lbs to 86lbs! pic.twitter.com/ULT1ggy7iw Follow @TagBillfish on Twitter Featured Video With a Little Help From Our Friends Watch Now Upcoming Events Mobile Big Game Labor Day Invitational September 3 - September 7 La-Tex Yellowfin Tuna/Billfish Tournament October 11 - October 14 Cypress Cove Marina & Lodge View Upcoming Events Tag & Release Sponsors Join/Renew Your membership helps ensure the future of billfish and billfishing.
