Thanks to everyone who reported their catches. The deadline of October 31, 2019 has passed so we are no longer processing tags for rewards. Feel free to continue to report your catches if you'd like because those data are still valuable to researchers and managers. If you have any questions about the project, you can still email basstag@okstate.edu or phone (405) 744-6342.
This research project was recently highlighted in an article in the Muskogee Phoenix. Read more at the link below, which also features our research flyer:
In April of 2019, researchers with the Oklahoma Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) began tagging a number of black bass (Smallmouth, Largemouth and Spotted) in Tributaries to Lake Tenkiller, Oklahoma. We ask that anglers that encounter these fish to record the unique 4-digit tag number (e.g., 7567) for each fish and submit their catches in the Bass Tag OSU project in iNaturalist for a possible reward.
For questions, or to submit catches by phone or email, please contact:
