Working with Ocearch and DNR tagging Tigers this week

Its been a great experience working with these guys. We've caught Tigers ranging from 200 to just under 1,000lbs. Some males, some females. Even caught one that had my hook in it from last year. The first Tiger with a satellite tag was about 650lbs and was named Miss Michalove, after my mom. The 2nd one was a 420lb male and the scientists named Fritz. The others havent been named yet, but they should be on the ocearch shark tracker towards the end of next week. If anyone catches a Tiger with a black antenna screwed to its dorsal fin please be extra careful when dealing with it and not pull it out of the water. Lots of time and money have gone into this project to see where they go and its very beneficial to all of us. Thanks
