I will admit Josh..fishing by yourself is hard to get a pic of aruer when the fish is flopping around. Plus all that time Mrs. fish is losing oxygen. It was my suggestion though about the ruler as it is a better instrument among us fishing story folks.Also..no one mentioned anything about girth...only length. If two were in a boat there would be no problem but many times I like to fish by myself to get away from it all.

Good talking with ya again Josh...I haven't seen ya in a while.
