While ITCA adheres to the theory of 'do no harm', the fish in the picture used on this website was lip-gaffed to facilitate the placement of a satellite tag.  While research has shown that lip-gaffing a tarpon does not create a significant negative impact on the fish's subsequent survivability or ability to forage, we still recommend that lip-gaffs not be used unless absolutely necessary.
