Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods of identifying and capturing information about items. In this instance, the systems and methods are focused upon fish. Through the use of the disclosed systems and methods, fish can be tagged and/or the image of the fish can be captured. The information about the tagged and/or image-captured fish can be wirelessly communicated to a remote device. As desired, the information specific to the fish can be combined and uploaded into a database with other relevant information, such as location information, temperature readings, latitude, longitude, date, time, and more.
