The legal length is from the jaw to tip of tail. This must be measured flat not by running the tape over the fish. I use a stick that has a stop on it like the mesuring sticks in freshwater, if any of the tail touches the line it is legal BUT a fish that size will always "shrink" a little after putting it in the cooler. If I keep a bass I like them around the 29" range much better taste than a larger bass and I hate to see floaters.
