I measure the keepers... Screw trying to lay it down on a rock and dig for the tape... I have a section of an adhesive backed ruler on my rod starting at 28" The butt being zero, so when I get a fish, I put rod to ground and tail of fish to ground... instant measurement. I can eyeball pretty well, but I like to have it... My fishing partners exaggerate so often they have a hard time believing that I dont... they'll catch a 27" bass, say it was 32" and release it quick... I dont like lying to myself. Its funny how easily people will round UP a half inch or pound, but if half a pound is no big deal, why doesnt anyone round DOWN?
