Here is a webpage on fish tagging with a series of photos of some different tags. There are many different methods and styles of tagging fish, but these are three common tag types. Notice the relative size of the tags. Although the highly visible (brightly colored) portion of the tags are approximately the same length, the overall size of the tags differ to due the mechanism that actually secures the tag to the fish.


I'm not worried about that or the trout that takes one for the team. Again, that must suck having to carry that size tag for such a small fish, is all I'm saying.

If ya think that tag which weighs less than a gram is bad...
click here and look at the photo near the bottom of the article that shows some of the transmitters.
This required making an incision, implanting the device, and suturing up the incision.
Surprisingly, over 90% of the trout that were implanted with these survived.
