"3rd fin rip"
If you catch a short take the hook and rip the dorsal fin near 3rd spine. This does not grow back and if caught again Monty will tag the fish. So check for rips if already ripped tell Monty and he will tag it, if not rip it and send him or her back.

Good luck wish I could go
Don't understand the 3rd fin rip, a little slow on the uptick I guess! What exactly is the point of ripping the dorsal fin before tagging it if caught again? Why not tag shorts the first time caught without surgery? Not questioning the practice, curious what the Captain is trying to accomplish. Does it have anything to do with tracking resident fish maybe?
