When measuring your catch

[piemma]

Does't matter to me. I wouldn't keep a fish under 36". I can tell if it's 36" or better.

TattooBob,
Use your hands to measure - if it takes one hand to lift its OK - but I live for "two handers".

Here is one of my favorite quotes:

"In the arm, shoulder, or brain of a big fish fisherman is a scale, and the moment the bg fish goes in the air, the fisherman, no matter what his blood pressure is, places the scale under the fish and coolly weighs it"
Norman Maclean author of The River Runs Through It.
