Shrinkage is a ( no pun intended) huge probelm. I know guys that have measured fish, legal at the time of catching, but not legal later in the day. You have to figure 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch of shrinkage, especially without ice. Its a particular problem if you have a fish thats "just legal". On the way home it will be a short.
