Fish don't shrink in length Chris.....did you guys watch the "how-to" instructional video that came with your tape measure?? Maybe it was one of those "Rhody Tape Measures" we hear so darn much about?
lol.. i'm not doubting they dont.. i'm giving the shop the 3rd degree tonight on how they measured.
but then again, every one here swears stripers dont have teeth, and i can tell you with 100% certainty i felt them lay into me when i lipped that fish.
There he stands, draped in more equipment than a telephone lineman, trying to outwit an organism with a brain no bigger than a breadcrumb, and getting licked in the process. ~Paul O'Neil, 1965
