    i don’t know exactly what the law is, i have always done it with mouth closed. More important then mouth position, is what you use to measure them with. I highly recommend something like a “check it stick” that has a lip on the end to line the fish up perfectly. And if its a 13.0000″ fish, I’m putting it back just incase I’m somehow off. Its not worth the hassle. I’ve probably been checked 20-30 times in the past few years, not once have they checked my fish lol… Right when the size changed i was stopped and they glanced at the fish in my live well, from their boat. I like to think since i always have my stuff in order, they do their ” inspection” faster…

    Example of a good ruler.

    ALL of these tech companies are just leaches it feels. Like you can’t just buy a product. No that would limit the companies profit margins. I get that garmin is a service, but damn… activation fees, monthly fee to have access, then 10cents a message….

    Some how everyone was convinced that $20 month for a lifetime was better than a one time $500ish for photoshop. Adobe was at the forefront of this. It’s the way of the world.

    Adding up my monthly fees hurts my soul each month. How many times did you even use “this”product this month? (Not talking about our great valued LAFB membership fee)

    Just ranting

    I have a EPIRB(gotta check the expiration on battery, but should have another year or two), a VHF with 48” antenna. But this has my interest

    Yeah I saw they were cast netting them a few weeks back on the lake front. Just haven’t been seeing them being chased by fish like years prior. But I’m probably getting ahead of myself

    I’m thinking down there, 1 day they can be on beach, next day half way to the jump. It’s all pretty close for fish that can probably swim at least 10mph.
