C-Lake 1/15/ year of the spider

hmmm   no thank you.
 After the tape jobs ive witnessed here ill decline to present this fish for AOTY. It would be an insult to this fantastic creature who put a smile on my face and a quiver in my hands.
Ill go get a bigger one.
this does bring up, again, the need for standardized measuring though.
back to work.

Way to MAN UP T-dro'!  your doing the right thing!  that thing looked like the tail must have been off the ZERO mark a 1/2 foot at least! a total disjustice to that fish.
......Props to ya'!!     &DAN'sPROUNDofYOUtoo!

 Is there an official who makes the judgment calls like this when they do arise?  or is there even a need?
Bill? ChuckE?

Don't forget Adam, while the mouth should be shut, you should/can also pinch the tail.  You'll loose a little on the mouth but might gain a bit on the tail, esp. on fish with a forked tail.

Stop it Brian!  ...that's the trick i used on my wife back in highschool
yourGONNAgetMEinTROUBLEagain!      

I make the final call but only if it is important. I am not going to worry about it until it is important for a place.

So yeah I would give you 21" on that.

thanks for the input Bill.  Is there a ETA on the official measuring device?

Sean has tracked them down and they should be at his place this week....he won't be home til saturday.....he said in the AOTY prizes thread today. 

13 fish?  Thats a good days catch in my book any day!  And after a full nights work? (You did mention getting home at 9am right?) What a way to end the night!

It was actually a bit more than the night. I work 24 hour shifts, then after I got off the water, I was so stoked about the fish I couldnt sleep.

I thought you'd be used to those big fish by now! I get excited too. I was talking to someone in the Sniffers about that one day and this guy when he catches an 8#er he says "It's going to be a good day" and goes about to catch 4 or 5 more. I on the other hand when I get one of those I am so stoked and I just sit back and enjoy the moment.

I want to know where to get one of those stickers, I was cracking up for 5 min when I saw that. And what a fish!!
