First. My buddy told me to join this thread so. HI!
I do my best to align the tail with the base of the rod and then photo the fish in a hurry to get em in the water. Some photos don't look like the tail is at the base, but it is.
Next. For scale:
5/10/13 - 20"
5/15/13 - 16"
5/15/13 - 18"
Take that MVorbrodt
Also, the ones on 5/15 were barbless hooks. I gut-hooked a 14" on 5/14 and it didn't make it...
