14" sucker... Cut just the tail fin off and that little nub with go like crazy but generate no force... Creates a helluva struggle
Trimming tails only goes so far. Few years back had a 6 -7" chub kept popping the flag. Every time I went out I clipped a little more tail. After 5 -6 trips out for nothing I just cut the whole thing off. Don't know how it did it, still had another false alarm. But only one. The flag after that was a 39" musky.
