Does anyone participate in any fish tagging programs?

I volunteered to participate in a Redfish and Speckled trout tagging program for the state of Louisiana. I made a solo trip today and tagged 2 Reds and 10 Specks. I hope I can give a little back to the sport I love.

We tagged a lot of offshore fish years ago and I have had two people report catching fish that we tagged.
 
The tags LA Wildlife & Fisheries supplied has a id # with phone # and says "FOR REWARD CALL". This program has tagged 105,000 fish to date and 5600 reported recaptures. If someone catches your fish, you receive a letter of acknowledement. They also have great incentives for whoever tags the most, biggest and so forth.
