Just to make sure I get this right.....from tip of nose to.....fork in tail? or end of tail? I don't want to mess this up......

And you can keep ( 1 ) 27" to 47".... ( 2 ) 47" to 73"...and ( 1 ) 73" and above......not that I would ever land that.....

Cut behind the 2 side fins 1" deep....gut soon after and get on good ice....inside and out?

1st time at this tomorrow.....want to make sure I have this straight....don't want or need any issues....Thanks Guys!

measure from the tip of the nose to Fork of the tail.
You are right on the daily limits - the 1 fish over 73" is for the season if you are in the angling category.
Make the cut about 3 fingers behind the joint of the side fin - 1" deep is correct. -also cut under the throat latch - that really bleeds em out.
Your good to go. - catch em up.
Here's one from earlier this week.

Measure from the nose to the middle of the tail following the curvature of the fishes body. 1 @27-47 2@47-72 and 1 @73 or greater is the regs for the angling permits. the 73+ fish you can only take 1 trophy a year. As for bleeding cut a gill raker or puncture artery behind the pec fin an inch deep. You want the fish to bleed out/pump out. If you rupture the heart the blood will also pour out of the fish. gut pack with ice and your good to go.

There's no such thing as a pro.

Just do it as keeper reaper said EXACTLY.
