    You can also dial on your cell phone #tip send.

    If you read that article carefully, they mention that a bunch of the violators were pretty casual about their measurements methods. Using notches on an oar or a piece of string isn’t good enough, I guess. It’s worth springing for the real deal.

    Hey Jdec,
    That is awesome that you brought that up. With some cellphone companies you can dial #tip and it will go through to the TIP line. I just wish the other cellphone companies would follow suit, Sprint

    One thing I’ve hear…but never experiance…is the plastic “tape” style measure will shrink if in the heat/sun.

    Not sure if it’s true…but it might not hurt to take a tape to your tape a couple times a year.

    I have never had a problem while I was on the lake with cell reception during the winter.

    The article does not mention, that if you have your limit of 2 in the livewell, that that is your possession limit. Isn’t IT then unlawful to continue fishing for Walleyes, even if they are all released?????? I think it is.

    I have a couple in my boat. I measure them periodically and for the last 8 years they have not changed. At least not enough to matter in the real world.
