kickingfrog Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I have never heard of a tail being clipped before. Was it worn? Top or bottom of tail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnl Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 it was the top of the tail, looked to clean cut to be torn but who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris.brock Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 pretty sure they don't clip the caudal (tail), it may hinder the fish, pectoral or pelvic fins are the ones usually clipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
