Not quite true but I think the intention behind this is right.

We still take measurements of all the heads whether tagged or not and any extra data included in the label helps, especially sizes, depth, water temp, gut contents, and sex.

That said, I totally get wanting to keep the head for your own use. If you can catch me when I'm actually at the Mission Bay facility, I can definitely scan and measure the head and get you on your way with the head (unless it's tagged). If that's something you're interested in, PM me and I'll send you my work email.

The Los Al Cdfw office could probably scan heads on short notice, but the SD office I'm not really sure about.
