What the heck is this? Looked on TP&W's website and no information on it? What is this all about? How much? Why?

It's a $3 dollar tag that allows a fisherman to keep a Trophy sized redfish on top of the FREE Trophy Tag currently issued with the saltwater license. So that means you have the ability to catch and keep a 2nd oversized redfish legally.

They have always had the bonus tag, but it was free.

spb got it right

thanks fellas....

Right off the TPWD website and from the Outdoor Annual...
b Red drum special regulation: During a license year, one red drum over the stated maximum length limit may be retained when affixed with a properly completed Red Drum Tag and one red drum over the stated maximum length limit may be retained when affixed with a properly completed Bonus Red Drum Tag. Any fish retained under authority of a Red Drum Tag or a Bonus Red Drum Tag may be retained in addition to the daily bag and possession limit as stated in this section.

So, my question is.....If you already tagged a redfish back in November and threw the tag away with the carcass. How do you obtain another one?

You have to stop by a place that sells licenses with the whole fish (tag attached) to show & get the new one. I suppose you could cut the used tag off & take it in with a photo of the tagged fish as well.
