Back in Missouri, first smallmouth fishing in more than 4 months...

I'm not bored Mitch. Just asking for some quality control here about fish that are being publicly bragged about.

Someone has to police this Mitch, or we have a bunch of people catching 15 inch 17 and 18 inchers all the time thanks to their alternative measuring methods. C'mon now, we have to maintain the integrity of our sport...    .🤣

Well, I’ve been a Metrologist for the past 30 years, and my dad was a Metrologist for over 30 years,  so I understand the importance of measuring methods! 😊

I guess you missed his report with 85 fish in one day....

I routinely catch ten to fifteen 18 to 20 cm smallmouth most times that I fished. I don't see what the big deal is, since they are really common in the Ozark creeks that I have fished.

Good grief man! It's a fishing forum, "well sometimes" lol. If you ain't lying, you're not being honest!!!

Why did you choose metric vs. imperial? 

What is your measurement uncertainty?

Do you have results of a GR&R?

I always catch better fish, when I fish alone.

I use that one on my wife. Metric always sounds bigger! 😂
