The tag can be seen on the dorsal fin of the fish and looks yellow. He/she was too long to keep :) If a tagged fish is caught and is a keeper, you are supposed to report the fish to the DNR. The DNR uses the tagged fish to study the fish populations. A link to the MN DNR website can be found here which explains all the things they look at: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/fisheries/tagged_fish_reporting/index.html
