    I don’t like pinching the tail, but since the MNDNR says I have to for an accurate measurement this is how I measure my fish.

    It is not for accuracy, but rather consistency. They tell you to make it the longest it can be… because that is what they are gonna do

    Whatever happened to weighing fish? If people really want to be accurate and honest, they would weigh fish.

    I carry graduated cylinders and quantify volume by water displacement. You should have seen the 1.1 liter Crappie I caught the other day.

    Now that should be the standard! After all, do we go under water to step on the scale or measure our height? Displacement is truly the way to go.

    where did you get the water you are using and how many AIS are in it ? measuring is just a way for the DNR to uphold slot restrictions… every tape measure should be the same (minus those sticker tapes that COORS was giving away a few years back ) and scales can vary quite a bit, when trying to administer laws

    Everyone knows that the only true way to size a fish is to take it’s picture with a 12oz Bud heavy next to it

    I agree but I only have Bud Light cans!

    Good idea Deano! Using a fish to prove that beer should come in bigger cans.
