Measuring Example

Fishes Mouth is Touching the bump board

One hand on the side of the fish securing it

One hand pinching the tail to get maximum length

Round up to the next 1/4 inch when measuring.  In this example, the fish was just over 20 inches, so it is a 20 1/4 inch fish.  


Coaches review each entry and will adjust the length accordingly.

Hero Shot Example

Picture of the angler holding the fish!
