Nice fish abking.

At the begining of the season, I had a feeling this was coming, though I really thought it would occur in the rockfish category.

Based on your calibration test, sounds like your fish is in the 24.5lb range.

I know there is variability between scales, but all tape measures are the same.  Next year, maybe we should throw out the weight, and just go by the OAL of a fish.

WAF = Wife Approval Factor. There is also GAF for the "uncommited" guys, Pat has to get BAF or the more politically correct SOAF but seriously Pat how hard is that?!?! Not even worth an abbreviation  :sad3:

Thanks, Stuart. 

Wow, Wife Approval...  that sounds like some kind of Sci-Fi trip to me at this point!  She just doesn't understand how legitimate it is that this stuff keeps me sane!   :smt013 :smt004 :smt005 :smt002 :smt008 :smt010 :smt006 :smt001
