Measuring in inches doesn't do the harm that hanging it by its jaw will do. Fish aren't made to support their weight by the jaw, it harms their gills. Research shows that it kills large fish. If people think it's more manly to describe their fish in pounds, I think they're selfish to risk killing those fish. I fish for sport, not to substitute for gonads. A nice bass is too valuable to be caught only once. Even releasing a nice fish without measuring it doesn't lower your testosterone production.
