So black bass matter?  :smt009
Live your life, the way you want to be remembered. Don't have any regrets, we only get this one dance to make it count. Start at your eulogy, and work backwards.

Wow. Thanks Chris for your diligence and calmness. No need to manipulate the lips. Just press down on the fish for that extra 1/4 inch. Hehe

On that Sheephead you can't see the entire middle section of the fish. It is entirely possible that the fish was cut in half, and the hand is placed there to cover the finger-sized gap. That should add like a 1/2" easily. I call cheating!

45th place / 423 pts / 3 Species - AOTY 2014 (nowhere to go but up!)
30th place / 1132.25 pts / 7 Species - AOTY 2015 (moving up a little!)

Always looking for new people to fish with!

Remember to practice safe knots, because big fish don't just break your line, they also break your heart.
