Guess The Length?

[moguy1973]

Next time lay it on the butt end of your rod and mark how long it is on the shaft of the rod, or even on your paddle. then you can tape measure it later...

Or even better, before you leave for your next trip, mark off lines on your rod with small pieces of tape or a marker and presto, instant fish ruler...

Not sure about this, but I measured on my monitor several times using a NIST calibrated vernier and get between 15.15 and 15.25 mm.

Very nice fish !

Oh, I forgot to mention, the second night we camped just after blue spring and just above some cabins on the right. While we were setting up camp a Guy came upstream in his jet boat and ask if we caught anything. We figured what the heck let's have a little fun. We told him I landed a 21" he asked if we measured it- well of course we did and we had pics...... he said about once or twice every year or so do they catch them that big. He was a really nice guy, but I just couldn't tell him the truth. I guess that little fib will make its way around forva while..

The guy who stopped is my partner in my river cabin below Blue Springs. He said he knew you were pulling his leg when he didn't see measuring stickers on your yaks! He was right about the ever elusive 20 inchers on that stretch...one a year for the past two years is all we have managed, and prior to that a LONG drought

Too funny- we knew if he had any experience he wouldn't believe us! We both actually have tape measures, mine on my cooler and my buddies is on the inside of his. Problem was, he slipped out of NY hand before I measured him.

Although I have to admit it would be quite a blast landing a 21". I do remember he had a cool yellow lab just chilling out in front of the boat.

Tell your buddy the two guys on the gravel bar enjoyed pulling his leg.

What are you, like 6-8, 6-9? That put's it at about 12 inches.
