A microchip is a good way to figure out if a fish has been caught multiple times, but there are lots of big fish out there with unique characteristics fishermen note, allowing them to track how many times they've landed "Bertha" or "Lieutenant Shiny Sides" or whatever name these local denizens earn.
Years ago I frequented a little irrigation pond for pickerel in the spring, and every April like clockwork, I'd hook the same massive, egg-laden fish in one of three spots. I knew it was the same fish because she had a wicked scar behind her left gill plate. Four years straight I hooked "Big Betty," then suddenly she disappeared. Either she got too smart or someone else caught and pickled her. Any of you have a similar fish that's found your hook more than once?
