I was fishing on Flathead Lake today and caught a 33" lake trout. I was about to release it when I saw that its adipose fin had been clipped, which means that it was a tagged fish worth from $100 to $10,000 as part of the Mack Days fishing event. So I kept it. At the Mack Days headquarters Cindy Benson checked the number, and the fish was tagged in 2013, so it's worth $100. The big dollar tags are on fish tagged this year; fish tagged in prior years are all worth $100. The fish was 826 mm long (32.5") in 2013, and is 844 mm long (33.2") now, but it has probably gotten thicker and heavier in the last 9 years. It's a female and contains a lot of roe, so I'll make a batch of caviar.
