Aloha Taggers,

We are half-way through our Virtual Tagging Tournament, the following are the biggest fish caught so far and the winners of the random raffled prizes. Thank you to our sponsor PROMAR for the amazing gear and giveaways. More to come. If you need more tags before the end of September - order them here and we will get them out the door.

It is really something special for us to do this tournament and recognize the taggers with random raffles/recognition.

Please keep up the great work supporting and perpetuating our fisheries.
