Read the Tape!
« on: Jan 06, 2010, 05:10 PM »
Is it me or does there seem to be alot of guys that need help reading their tape measures.  Don't know where they are getting that extra half to sometimes entire inch they claim their fish is, when the photo clearly shows otherwise  :whistle:.  We aren't fishing for a million dollars guys, this is for fun.   Just thought it was kind of funny how guys are stretching their fish in their minds.  Glad Lonewolf is the deciding factor.

My $ .02 is over....

Angles and shadows. The sunfish I caught measured 5" but when I took the picture I was a little to the left and it showed it as less then 5".

That's why in the rules it says to take the picture from directly above the fish. Cheeks out!!! 8)

Liberty or death-what we so proudly hail-once you provoke her-rattling of her tail-never begins it-never but once engaged-never surrender-showing the fangs of rage!
