Anglers can keep
one trophy drum
Texas anglers may keep one
red drum over the legal size limit
since a mle went into effect two
years ago Anglcrsare issued a tag
that allows them in keep one red
drum over 2K inches long, and
gives them a second 'bonus" tag
for another big redhsh alter they
send their first tag to the depart-
ment as required
It anglers arc keeping their fish
alive on a stringer, they should fill
out ihe tag and keep the completed
lag m their shirt pocket until they
leave the water when they should
put it on the fish It a fish is in an
tee chest or boat it must be tagged
Taxidermists who receive a tro-
phy red drum to mount should
make a copy ol the red drum tag
lor their records to show the origin
of the fish in their possession The
original tag should be kept by the
angler so he can send it in lor a
bonus tag
